A project that places aesthetics and craftsmanship at the forefront, through the intersection of diverse cultures and a profound love for nature, but above all for Africa, a land that Ludovica+Roberto Palomba have always held dear.
Not an ethnic object, but an expression of craftsmanship and aesthetics that the architects aimed to accentuate in the project, a personal interpretation of Africa, the more poetic one, a convergence of multiple inspirations.
We aimed to transport the strength and beauty of this land into the project, focusing on the intertwined details of the two rings that become armrests.

The armrests and the seats of the collection, in fact, end with curved lines that give them the appearance of a sofa/throne with embracing shapes that bestow upon the upholstery the look of a refuge, a cocoon of protection.
For this reason, Karen, the name of the collection, pays tribute to the author of "Out of Africa," Karen Blixen.
