Meet the Kissing Armchair
Sculptural. Sensual. Statement-making.
The Kissing Armchair isn’t just another piece of furniture. It’s a conversation starter—one that’s as comfortable as it is chic. Designed by the legendary Lara Bohinc and offered by Vintara Design, this armchair turns any space into a curated gallery of taste and flair.
Designer Behind the Magic: Lara Bohinc
Lara Bohinc has long blurred the lines between functional design and fine art. With a background in industrial design and jewelry, her work is rich with geometric exploration, sensual curves, and unexpected playfulness. Her work in furniture, including this iconic chair, reflects a desire to elevate daily objects into sculptural elegance.
A First Look: The Design Concept
Imagine a seat shaped like an embrace—two semi-circular forms cradling you from behind and below. That’s the essence of the Kissing Armchair.
-
Top half: Forms the gentle backrest
-
Bottom half: Cups the seat like an open palm
-
Support structure: Sleek bronze legs and circular cups elevate the piece like an art sculpture
It’s a metaphor you can sit on. Quite literally.
Why It’s Called “The Kissing Armchair”
Because it looks like it’s ready to kiss you.
The semi-circular seat and backrest evoke the visual of parted lips or an ice cream coupe—playful, inviting, and undeniably cheeky. It reflects Lara Bohinc’s signature paradox: soft yet structured, bold but light, architectural and feminine.
