Soriana Armchair By Roy Rogers
DESIGNED BY Afra and Tobia Scarpa
FOR Cassina
A design armchair with soft, generous contours, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in the 1960s to bring home casual comfort, is swathed in premium Japanese denim, in a limited edition that elevates its unconventional spirit.
Soriana in denim crafted by Roy Roger's is produced with Japanese selvedge denim of the highest quality. A fabric made of special long-fibre American cotton woven only on traditional shuttle looms, original in the 1960s, it features a white border with a red thread, known as the selvedge, that keeps it from fraying.
The denim is processed to make it soft and comfortable. A special treatment lends it the typical faded look of worn jeans. The metal structure holds the armchair in a vise-like grip, creating several different contemporary colour pairings.
