Wraparound and comfortable, it resembles a capsule, a cavity or a satellite. Hinged on an axis resting on a metal base, it rotates 360° and automatically returns to its starting point.
Rotating, swiveling and dynamic, Ecate allows the bodies of the sitters to move in space and change the point of observation while remaining stationary. In a way, it is “furniture that moves”, which at least partially refutes the immobility to which home furnishings are paradoxically and inevitably confined.
The name comes from Hecate, an essentially ambiguous and polymorphous deity worshipped in ancient Athens as the goddess of magic and crossroads. The chair interrupts and overlaps movement and stillness, providing relaxation, comfort and softness.
