Hard Shell, Soft Core. The Design-Duo "HoffmannKahleyssDesign" has designed a dualistic piece of furniture, as harmonious as yin and yang. Leya reconciles contradictions in a wonderful way. With its tautly upholstered shell, the Counter Chair designed by Birgit Hoffmann and Christoph Kahleyss makes a clear and linear impression from the outside, but you’ll feel the outstanding comfort the moment you sit down.
The external padding reveals a soft cushion on the inside for an almost sensory experience. This pure design is available in a range of premium quality coverings and combinable with different frames; an elegant high back provides an extra level of comfort.
At the beginning, there was a very simple chair – without armrests, but with an ingenious idea. Why not take a modern minimalist form, but combine it with extra-soft upholstery? The result was a compact, almost delicate chair that is far more comfortable than its clear, pure lines might suggest at first sight: Leya. Rewarded with astonishing success, the designers have since successively applied the same concept to various other types of seating - the Leya family now consists of more than twenty variants, from models with armrests through to lounge chairs and bar stools and the Leya wingback couch with its lavish Chesterfield upholstery.
