Designed by Gabriel Tan for Herman Miller®
Fold up, down, or reconfigure as you please. The Luva Modular Armchair presents timeless beauty in an inventive form. Created by designer Gabriel Tan, Luva is a case study for probing at the intersections of art, design, and culture. The chair's elemental form is inspired by the soft-rolled tops of Japanese futons and the padded tactility of a boxing glove. Luva (Portuguese for “glove”) can close into a “fist” for supportive sitting or unfold for relaxed repose. Available as a sectional, chaise, armchair, and more, you can choose a pre-set configuration or create your own with individual sections and connective brackets, sold separately.
- Designed for dual functionality, the back expands for relaxed lounging or folds down for a supportive seat.
- Distinct billowy form is inspired by both boxing gloves and Japanese futons.
- Upholstered in natural textiles and leathers that accentuate organic lines.
- Available as an armchair, chaise, sofa, sectional, and more.
- Sits at a lounging height of 16 inches.
