Elegant, cozy and embracing, that's the armchair designed by Eli Gutiérrez for Missana

Missana's new armchair, Cotton, created by the international Spanish designer Eli Gutiérrez, is the latest arrival to The Novelties Catalogue. Cotton is an exclusive piece that takes us to a dream like world through its trendy and fun design.

Cotton is a singular and extremely comfortable armchair that conquers the user by just looking at it, transporting us to a deam like world where the imagination has no limits. Its original shape has been delimited by a sequence of sinuous lines which converge in space resulting in an incredible silhouette defined by its intricate metallic structure. A cozy and embracing armchair that makes the user feel its warmth and protection while using it, an incredible piece that converges in a perfect balance of volumes due to its unique structure and its rounded padded cushions.

The originality of Cotton is what impressed the most Missana's creative team when considering the development of this proposal, a project that for its designer, Eli Gutiérrez, means the perfect balance of volumes due to both its playful structure and its padded rounded cushions.

Cotton is a casual and versatile product, an other one of its most characteristic attributes is the “passepoil” that sorounds the whole backrest perimeter, which according to its creator gives an extra added graphic value to this product that offer sendless possibilities. An outstanding, versatile and incredibly fun armchair, that chameleonly addapts to any space.

A selection of colorful fabrics by Kvadrat and a fun fabric by Febrik have been chosen to dress up Cotton for its launching. The fabrics, the structure, the combination of materials and the striking colors have been complemented with an amusing scenography in which the combination of colors and fun elements stand out and take us to Cotton's dream like world. The combination of Febrik's Sprinkles Cockatoo fabric in light pink with darker pinks prinkles and Kvadrat's Hallingdal fabrics in 563 fuchsia and 702 purple, clearly helps to make our imagination travel to a fun world of dreams, to a very relaxed and enjoyable place to which this exclusive piece clearly belongs.

Its metallic structure and legs have been chromed in a very appealing metallic pink which perfectly reinforces the extreme combination of colors, shapes and shades that makes Cotton the exclusive piece that it is in this the first and successful collaboration between Missana and Eli Gutiérrez.
