The PAPARITMO armchair is Studio ASAÏ's first foray into furniture design, translating Antoine Simonin's interior architecture practice into a freestanding object.
Its form is substantial and boxy, set close to the ground, with generously rounded edges that soften the silhouette without losing architectural presence. Wide arms and a low back create a posture that is both enveloping and composed. A single circular brass detail on the outer arm is the piece's only ornamental note.
The chair is upholstered throughout in a light beige ribbed textile, its vertical corduroy-like channelling visible across the arms, back, and seat. Subtle piping traces the contours of each surface, giving the geometry definition without decoration. A solid beechwood base completes the piece.
PAPARITMO is part of a five-piece collection extending Simonin's non-style approach to domestic seating. Studio ASAÏ, recognised by the AD 100, has worked across private residences, luxury hotels, and exhibition design since 2014. Available through Monde Singulier.

About
ASAÏ
Giving voice to the human spirit. Awakening the soul of a place. Writing novels, fictions, and novel fictions... like a series of bespoke self-portraits. Staying true to Saint-Exupéry's creed: « Let your dreams devour your life, so that life does not devour your dreams », STUDIO ASAÏ has, since 2014, conceived interior architecture as a living language. A language that is multifaceted, breaking free from repetition, bespoke, and tailored to each story, each adventure, each project encountered.
From his formative years with Andrée Putman and later with Jean-François Bodin, Antoine Simonin continually pushes boundaries, playing with conventions, challenging space and time, weaving improbable colour palettes with a deft touch, and spinning inspirations and references to distill an essence of non-style, neither retro nor futuristic. A non-style that moves closer to a dreamlike future, bold enough to embrace all possibilities... revealing the wonder around us and uncovering the hidden beauty that eludes us.
From the paramount importance of narrative to the pursuit of unadorned beauty. From private residences to luxury hotels, from furniture design to exhibition scenography, STUDIO ASAÏ redefines aesthetic singularity, balancing radicality and harmony, rawness and refinement, fantasy and reality, with equal parts humility and grace.
