2010 Luna Chair Range by Matthew Hilton

2010 Luna Chair Range by Matthew Hilton. Part of our Heal's ReDiscovers collection to celebrate our Bicentenary. Matthew Hilton, designer of the iconic Balzac chair drew inspiration from the classic wing-backed armchair to create Luna. Made in the United Kingdom, Luna is manufactured from traditional materials associated with handcrafted upholstery yet engages in new techniques of construction to create a unique, contemporary form. It combines a hardwood frame and a fully upholstered shell to provide a pure, soft, fluid profile. Its high back and scooped arms are designed to almost cradle the user. A memory foam lumbar support and headrest ensure exceptional comfort whilst always retaining its shape. Referencing designs such as the Eames lounger which shares a contrast between the hard texture of the wood and the soft leather cushion, for Luna, Hilton has achieved a similar effect, but using only fabric to create a very controlled accurate form.
