Once upon a time, there was a brioche. It was freshly baked, soft and fragrant. It cast a spell on designer Beatriz Sempere, who turned her sense of wonder into a small armchair and footstool collection for Twils. Brioche is its name and it contains an armchair and a footstool with shapes that are the ultimate embodiment of comfort.
The Brioche design is simple: the armchair undeniably calls to mind the shapes and colours of one of the most beloved comfort foods in the world, with the same enticing softness and the same golden hues. In addition to ironic sensory allure, it is steeped in the quintessentially Spanish taste for visual extravagance. It is as unrestrained as the sets of Almodovar’s surreal films and reveals a 1970s-style fondness for bold aesthetics. The designer took pleasure in bringing out the best of the material with intentionally flamboyant, lavish and slightly over the top forms.
