Corsetto armchair by Cristián Mohaded for Molteni&C

Dezeen Showroom: a leather belt cinches the pillowy form of this armchair created by Argentinian designer Cristián Mohaded for Italian furniture brand Molteni&C.

Launched by Molteni&C at Milan design week, the Corsetto chair was designed by Mohaded to envelop its user, "offering comfort and protection".

Aptly named after the Italian word for corset, the chair has an oversized, curved form girdled by a leather belt.

The belt sweeps up from its solid base, gently cinching the sides of the textile-covered seat and arms.

"In this piece, dialogue becomes intimate: a volume that embraces and cocoons the body, offering both comfort and enclosure," said Mohaded.

"Soft and full profiles, like cushions of breath, are gently pressed into form," he continued. "Its shape feels corseted, defined with precision yet alive with softness, balancing restraint and generosity."

The Corsetto chairs are available in a variety of textiles and colour finishes, allowing them to suit a range of interiors.
