BATIKI Fortuny, chaise longue

Chaise Longue 'BATIKI', upholstered in finest Fortuny fabric: Named after a far distant south sea island, the sofa is a combination of culture and nature – a 'micro holiday'. It is the idea of an island, or the landscape of an architectural design model. The fabric designed by Fortuny is camouflage of islands from our globe, from the lagunes of Venice, to Elba and Manhattan. As a sofa it sits one and a half, as a chaise longue just one. Our signature version is done in ocean blue velveteen.?The upholstery craftsmanship of this piece is extraordinary and a masterpiece of handcrafting skill. ?DESIGN by SEBASTIAN MENSCHHORN (Austrian furniture and industrial designer, b. 1972.
