The Blue Ribbon armchair from 1966 is an emblematic statement of experimental 1960s modernism, expressed in a single fluid line: the seat, backrest, and armrests merge into a sculptural ribbon with no interrupting seams or visible hardware. The construction radiates dynamism and lightness, thanks to its organic curves and the absence of any hard edges.
