Elyne Armchair
2026 Elyne Armchair
Hannes Peer 2026
Elyne by Hannes Peer design is a seating family defined by the balance between structural lightness and enveloping comfort. A thin, gently curved line creates an airy, continuous silhouette that supports softer, more generous volumes. The collection includes armchairs, lounge chairs, dining chairs, benches, and stools, all developed from the same formal structure in different proportions.
The armchair is the central expression of the design. It features a stainless steel tubular frame that draws a light, continuous line through the space. The backrest flows naturally into the armrests, creating a single, welcoming form. Soft cushions add comfort and reinforce the contrast between structure and volume. A matching footstool extends the seat, following the same structure and finishes. The result is an armchair that combines precision, comfort, and a clear architectural presence.
