The Happy armchair features the same aesthetic elegance expressed by the eponymous sofa. Its unique seat back is made up of a metal frame embellished with a sophisticated and entirely hand-woven open-weave design made with cowhide cord. The soft, goose-down-filled seat and seat back cushions offer striking visual contrast to the understated yet elegant metal structure. The couture tailoring of the upholstery is accented by tone-on-tone or contrasting color grosgrain piping.

Antonio Citterio

Antonio Citterio was born in the Italian city of Meda in 1950. He opened his own studio in 1972 and completed his degree in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1975. Between 1987 and 1996, he collaborated with Terry Dawn to design many buildings across Europe and Japan. In 2000, Citterio and Patricia Viel formed a multidisciplinary office for architecture, interior design and graphics. The office operates at international level developing complex long-term projects in synergy with a qualified network of specialist consultants. The practice is now called “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel”.

He has received numerous awards, including the Compasso d'Oro in 1987 and 1995. Citterio has been a professor at the Faculty of Architecture at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Mendrisio from 2006 to 2016. He was awarded the title 'Royal Designer for Industry' by the London-based Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce in 2008.
