Fendi Casa Mrs. Parfisal armchair
Mrs. Parsifal is a furnishing element with an impactful character. Balanced proportions and the rigorous geometry of its upholstered structure are enriched by prominent armrests covered in Pequin fabric, setting up a strong chromatic and graphic play. Conceived by Thierry Lemaire to complement the Parsifal sofa, it completes a harmonious and extremely elegant ensemble.
Description
Design Inspiration & Philosophy
The chair works by concentrating its decoration in one place. The body stays rigorous, upholstered as a single geometric block, while the armrests carry the Pequin stripe at full strength. That division is deliberate. A chair covered in the motif throughout would tip into pattern for its own sake, whereas confining it to the arms makes the code read as a detail placed with intent, the way a trim is placed on a coat.
The Pequin Armrests
The armrests are the piece’s signal. Prominent in profile and wrapped in Pequin fabric, they sit at the height where a hand naturally falls, so the motif is touched as often as it is seen. Its colours can be set against or with the body upholstery, which means the graphic play can be sharpened or softened to suit the room.
Pairing with Parsifal
Mrs. Parsifal was drawn as a companion rather than a standalone. Placed with the Parsifal sofa it shares proportion and upholstery language while introducing the pattern the sofa deliberately withholds. In a full Lemaire grouping this is the piece carrying the heritage code, leaving the rest of the arrangement free to stay plain.
Upholstery Options
The body and the armrests are specified separately, which is where the play begins.
– upholstered body in the Fendi Casa fabric and leather range
– armrests covered in Pequin fabric in the maison’s colourways
– tonal or contrasting pairings between body and armrests
– specified alongside the Parsifal sofa and armchair
Perfect For
– Living rooms where the sofa stays plain and the chair carries the pattern
– Full Parsifal groupings that need one graphic accent
– Entrance halls and dressing areas suited to a single expressive seat
– Designers introducing heritage codes without covering a whole room
– Branded residences where a recognisable motif has to appear once
One code, one place, applied exactly where the hand lands. Mrs. Parsifal shows how much a heritage stripe can achieve when it is given a single job.
