The comfortable lounge chair AIDA 

Design by Christophe Giraud (FR)


Compact - feather light - classy

French designer Christophe Giraud designed for JORI the refined AIDA armchair, the perfect fit that responds to the current down shifting trends towards smaller interiors furnished with top design.

The demand for compact homes and similar interiors becomes increasingly bigger. As a design furniture manufacturer, JORI realizes that because of this, the need for compatible and smaller seating elements becomes more & more important. This immediately explains the intent of the brand to entrust designer Christophe Giraud to design a feather light design armchair with footstool, that integrates effortlessly into any interior and that can easily be moved around when so required.

Giraud has already pored upon this trend while designing the compact Sienna corner sofa and has succeeded aligning stability, comfort and optical design perfectly. The armchair AIDA became a unique design object, as comfortable as a lounge chair, as compact as a chair. Its small size and amazing light weight, give it extra mobility. The design of both versions, with high or low backrest, is remarkably unique and discrete. Check the armchair along the back and discover the very gently escalating curve towards the bottom. The side view in an irregular rectangle intrigues, the slightly ascending divergent armrests are a testimony of designers talent. The notch in the seat recalls the ingenious seating design of a sports car.

For the Belgian JORI, a marvelous design story is unthinkable without a ‘comfortable’ ending. The AIDA armchair corresponds in every respect to the high well-being norms of the brand. Deliciously slumping in its inclined soft seat. The perfectly fitting armrests, which form a whole with the seat, provide a unique comfort experience. The matching optional footstool completes the well-being experience.

Just like the entire JORI collection, the AIDA is manufactured with skill in the JORI production facilities in Belgium and is available in a wide colour range of high quality leather and fabric coverings. The list of options allow you to choose from an epoxy black or chrome high-gloss undercarriage.

Recommended price: ± € 1.350 for the armchair and ± € 2.100 for the combination lounge chair + footstool in fabric.

Thanks to the JORI configurator, the AIDA model can be composed exactly the way you want it. www.jori.com
