Description
Larzac is named for one of France’s most quietly remarkable landscapes a wild, flat, open limestone plateau in Occitanie where the light is horizontal, the grass is real, and everything unnecessary has been stripped away by centuries of wind. The collection applies that same principle to furniture: take the most formally resolved pieces in the mid-century canon, place them in a raw loft environment, add one object that brings the outside in, and stop. The result is a lounge that feels like it was curated by someone who owns exactly the right things and needs nothing else.
The Grey Flow sofa is the compositional and formal anchor of the collection. Its format a generous three-seat sofa in medium charcoal-grey button-tufted fabric, set on clean brushed metal legs is an unmistakable heir to the Florence Knoll tradition: the sofa that defined what serious, architecturally minded lounge furniture looked like in the 1960s and has never stopped looking right since. Its button tufting creates a surface of controlled texture in the grey fabric that activates under warm Edison light, its grid of diamond shadows giving the sofa a material depth that a flat-surfaced piece at the same colour could never achieve.
The five pillows distributed across the Flow’s back a mustard-yellow geometric print, an ivory solid, a black-and-white graphic print, and a warm caramel tan deliver the collection’s entire colour story in a single horizontal surface: the mustard connecting to the Barcelona chairs’ warmth, the black-and-white creating graphic contrast, the ivory providing the neutral bridge, and the caramel echoing the leather of the chairs flanking the sofa on each side.
The two Barcelona chairs in caramel are the collection’s most historically charged pieces and its most immediately recognisable design references. Their form the flat, square-grid tufted leather seat and back pad on a clean X-frame in polished or brushed chrome is one of the most replicated and most admired chair designs of the 20th century, originally conceived by Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition.
In caramel cognac leather, the Barcelona chair’s chrome frame catches the Edison string light overhead while its warm brown surface creates the collection’s primary chromatic warmth, sitting in productive contrast against the grey sofa and the white brick wall behind both. Two wood cube side tables flank the Barcelona chairs at their outer positions with the collection’s most materially grounding element solid, pale natural wood grain blocks that introduce honest, earthbound tactility into a composition whose other materials are all refined, processed, or industrial.
At the center, the Amici coffee table in silver provides the composition’s functional horizontal surface with a design object of considerable material elegance: its slatted or grid-pattern top in brushed silver or chrome on a clean metal frame sits at the intersection of the industrial and the refined, its open surface allowing the natural jute rug beneath it to breathe through its structure and remain visually present, maintaining the composition’s feeling of lightness and spatial generosity.
The Pasto bench in the composition’s immediate foreground is Larzac’s most unexpected and most conceptually resonant piece a large, rectangular bench upholstered entirely in vivid artificial grass turf, its deep green surface bringing a rectangle of living landscape into the polished concrete and white brick environment of the loft. The Pasto is the piece that justifies the collection’s name: in a room of chrome, leather, tufted fabric, and timber, it introduces the one material that none of those things can imitate green, growing, outdoor nature, captured in furniture form and placed at the threshold between the room and the floor-to-ceiling windows beyond it.
