A slim frame, a soft landing. Lala Indoor, designed by Marco Zito for New Life Contract, pairs a continuous metal line with a seat that feels almost cloudlike in contrast.

The frame reads clean and continuous. A single gesture in powder-coated metal. But it’s the cushion that shifts the tone. Generous, rounded, and slightly enveloping, it brings a sense of ease that feels more instinctive than styled. The result is biophilic lounge seating that doesn’t rely on overt references to nature, but instead channels it through proportion and touch.

There’s also a quiet flexibility here. The armrest can stay linear and restrained, or open into a more petal-like form. That option changes the chair’s posture entirely, from tailored to expressive.

Material choices reinforce the idea. Recycled textiles. CertiPUR foams. A palette that feels grounded, not decorative. It’s a chair designed to live comfortably in shared spaces, where durability matters as much as mood.

We’ve seen this kind of soft modular thinking before in systems like Alto by Materia, but here it’s distilled into a single, resolved piece.

It’s easy to picture it anchoring a lobby corner or softening a breakout space. Quietly inviting. Never passive.
