Baxter Aimée armchair
The Baxter Aimée is an armchair designed by Christophe Delcourt around the idea of the embrace: a form that curves toward the sitter, cradles, supports and settles. Upholstered in Baxter’s signature leather with a soft, elastic quality that clings naturally to its sculpted shape, the piece carries smooth, continuous surfaces throughout. Generous in its proportions at 78 cm wide and 82 cm deep, Aimée positions comfort and formal exploration as the same act.
Description
Christophe Delcourt & Design Philosophy
Delcourt’s approach to furniture design has always centred on the balance between formal exploration and material excellence, and Aimée sits at the core of that philosophy. Every curve in the chair is purposeful, designed in Delcourt’s words to cradle, support and caress. The result is a piece that reads as both architecturally resolved and physically inviting, resisting the usual tension between those two qualities.
Leather & Surface Quality
Aimée is upholstered in Baxter’s signature leather, selected for its soft, tactile character and its elasticity. That elasticity matters on this particular form: the leather clings naturally to the chair’s sculpted shape, following its curves without pulling or creasing. The smooth, uninterrupted surfaces that result celebrate, in Baxter’s own language, the sensual depth and tonal richness of the material. The hide performs differently from every angle as the light across it shifts.
Proportion & Presence
At 78 cm wide and 82 cm deep, Aimée is generously proportioned without imposing on the room. The overall height of 65 cm keeps the silhouette low and welcoming rather than formal or upright. Baxter describes the chair as innately welcoming, designed to fit seamlessly into any space while enhancing its atmosphere. In practice this translates to a piece that adapts to both centrepiece and supporting roles within a living arrangement.
