Description“These are not immobile ’meubles’ … here something moves. In the armchair it is the back that shifts, in keeping with the posture; while in the chaise longue it is our angle of the moment that sets the slope of the cradle, always nicely stabilized by friction with the rubber covering the crossbars of the base.“
