The swivel armchair model 116, designed by Maurice Burke for Arkana in the 1970s, exemplifies a modernist approach to both form and function. The bucket seat features integrated armrests and a high, slightly angular backrest, emphasizing ergonomic comfort and a contemporary silhouette. Molded from fiberglass in a warm, off-white shade with a glossy finish, the chair carries a distinctly futuristic, almost laboratory-like presence. The construction rests on a four-star base, seamlessly connected to the seat, with no visible screws or joints except for mounting holes in the seating area. The fiberglass surface is smooth and lustrous, showing some signs of use—scratches, minor discoloration, and remnants of a previously attached cushion. No upholstery or seat pad is present. The chair is in very good condition, with authentic patina and subtle signs of age that highlight its originality.This chair speaks with the voice of the 1970s, an era when fascination with space exploration and new technologies shaped interior design. Its streamlined, almost organic form evokes a capsule—an invitation to a future imagined by the Space Age. This very model appeared on the set of Star Trek’s U.S.S. Enterprise, becoming an icon of new horizons and the bold vision of daily life immersed in technology. The glossy white fiberglass reflects light like the shell of a modern machine, while the monolithic form conveys a belief in the purity of design and function as the essence of the future.This model can be paired with a minimalist high-gloss laminate or glass side table to emphasize its futuristic character. It works well in interiors inspired by modernism and the Space Age, either as a standout accent or
