Designed by Jonas Wagell for Tacchini, Julep is characterised by its soft and inviting shapes. This collection is influenced by the Avant-Garde movement of the 1950s, drawing on its simplicity and grandeur but adding its own contemporary, romantic and feminine feel. Julep's generous rounded lines can be found in the whole collection, including the sofa and the armchair. The fully upholstered seats look spacious and well-rounded, and yet they convey a feeling of lightness, thanks to the recessed base that inconspicuously lifts the seat off the floor. Designed for domestic environments, but also perfectly suited to collective spaces, Julep's pleasing appearance invites you to relax.
