Derby in Classic Blue, Pantone of the Year 2020

Comfort is all-enveloping in Derby, an armchair that fits in perfectly with the décor of both a classic or modern living room, two styles that co-exist even within the same piece of furniture.

Soft sculptural features characterise its design while its sophisticated upholstery creates a cradle for long lasting relaxation, just like this “classic” shade par excellence, a timeless passepartout nuance.

“In these hard times, as we approach a new decade, the Pantone Color Institute has gone back in time.” Derby is a nod to the Chesterfield armchair, an indisputable icon of British style. The original quilting and metal details bring a contemporary feel to its contours and identify the chair as a Smania piece. Shiny silhouettes trace Derby’s elegant shapes, further accentuating its soft look.
