Design Distinction
PALMA
“This is lovely,” said Lepage of Khodi Feiz’s Palma chair for Offect. The biomorphic shape had jurors commenting on how comfortable and nurturing the design was. Terms such as “egg-like,” “cradling,” and “fetal position” came into play as each juror admired the chair, whose seat, back support, and armrests form one curvilinear shape, inspired by a gently cupped palm. Not surprisingly, comparisons were drawn between Palma and that other symbol of maternal Modernism, the Womb chair—although Oliver pointed out that Offect’s seat costs less than half the price of Eero Saarinen’s classic.
