Join us for an exclusive interview with Marialaura Irvine + Konstantin Grcic, designers of the new PAF PAF Lounge Chair that was released at Salone del Mobile 2024.

Structured yet imperfect, the original PAF PAF Chair from Mattiazzi was released to much acclaim after its debut at Salone del Mobile 2023, but this year there was a new version on show during Milan Design Week 2024. The head of Studio Irvine, Marialaura Irvine, designed both the chair and the recently-introduced PAF PAF Lounge, a wooden armchair with a short, wide stance that maintains the essence of simple lines.

Mattiazzi’s creative director, Konstantin Grcic, commissioned Irvine to work on the creation of the PAF PAF Chair, and now on the PAF PAF Lounge, to further broaden the collection of seating. The lounge’s structure is functional while remaining incredibly comfortable, with two soft feather cushions that continue to get better with daily use as they form to the user’s body. Perfection and imperfection create a strong visual dialogue in the design of the lounge chair. Additionally, two new materials have been made available to the collection: Sorensen Leather and natural fiber by Torri Lana 1885. Below, the two designers, Irvine and Grcic, sit down to discuss the process, the roadblocks, and the outcome of their project in an exclusive interview.
