components: ebony, maple wood, velvet

Elegant, strong, ironic, this dormeuse is an experiment for its designer, Ivan Paradisi; the name itself is a play on words. His first attempt at a piece of furniture for sitting, it is abundantly baroque and recalls the 4/4 rhythmic cadence of music. Paradisi, a former musician, is often inspired by his past in his woodworking creations.  Photo 2 of 7 in Woodworking by Ivan Paradisi
