The Visconti armchair is a lounge chair from Studio Ebur's Ebur Editions collection, upholstered entirely in a light beige plush textile over a sculptural curvilinear frame.
The backrest is high and reclined, designed to envelop the seated body rather than simply support it. Armrests are integrated directly into the frame's continuous form, their outer edge curving to meet the backrest without a break. Dark wooden feet anchor the base, small in scale and set slightly inward, leaving the upholstered form to read as the dominant visual element. A cylindrical bolster pillow accompanies the piece, providing a horizontal counterpoint to the vertical composition of the backrest. A dark wood accent element and a matching tassel are placed on the backrest face, a detail consistent with Studio Ebur's use of handmade trim across Ebur Editions.
The textile is worked over a padded internal frame in workshops that Studio Ebur selects for upholstery requiring continuous curves, where the fabric must hold without visible seam breaks or tautness.
Alongside pieces such as the Kola armchair, the Visconti belongs to a seating typology within Ebur Editions in which structure and material are treated as a single sculptural proposition. The name references the Visconti ducal legacy, one of several historical and cultural threads that Racha Gutierrez and Dahlia Hojeij Deleuze weave through the collection.

About
Studio Ebur
Studio Ebur is a Paris design studio founded in 2020 by Racha Gutierrez and Dahlia Hojeij Deleuze. The name carries its own etymology: Ebur is Latin for ivory, a reference to the Ivory Coast where both founders grew up before studying architecture together in Paris.
Their practice covers furniture, lighting, objects, and spatial design. The aesthetic builds on West African craft, Mediterranean light and form, and the French and Italian decorative arts of the early twentieth century. References span Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Jean Dunand, Carlo Bugatti, and the Wiener Werkstätte. The studio describes this layering as a palimpsest, cultures accumulated across time that give each piece depth without fixing it to a single origin.
Production is distributed across workshops in France, Portugal, Italy, and Lebanon, each chosen for a specific technique: forged iron, stoneware, raw silk, or the Lebanese marquetry tradition that the studio weaves into contemporary furniture forms.
The debut furniture collection, Le bruit de la mer (2023), drew its title from a shared childhood memory: the sound of the sea on weekends in Ivory Coast and along the Mediterranean. The collection set the studio's formal vocabulary: curved silhouettes, textured surfaces, a tension between raw and refined that carries through their work. Signature pieces such as the Visconti armchair and the Dante mirror translate that vocabulary into domestic scale. Studio Ebur holds AD 100 recognition.
Their furniture and objects are available on Monde Singulier.
