Hampton Armchair by Eric Jourdan
by Harry / November 5, 2009


Eric Jourdan started out in the design profession thinking he was going to design cars. With the Hampton Armchair he brings together "two of the basic exercises for any real designer: design a chair and design a vehicle."



As tense and profiled as an automobile body, Hampton is a return to roots for Eric Jourdan : "I started out in this profession thinking I was going to design cars. With this type of commission and the culture of Domeau & Pérès, who work a lot in aviation and aeronautics, I'm getting back down to my roots as a designer".

This is a break for a creator known for the soft elegance of his seating, in particular for Ligne Roset.

Made by Domeau & Pérès in red cedar, the Hampton extrapolates a model Jourdan originally designed for the terrace of a private golf club house in the United States. A tailor-made commission typical of Domeau & Pérès now extended to the general public in a version suitable for both interior and exterior.
