A nod to the classic Hollywood Regency style of the 1930s with echoes of Italian midcentury, the Genevieve high-gloss black dining armchair by
goop is defined by crisp angles, unexpected curves and sumptuous velvet for a juxtaposition of hard and soft. The frame's black lacquer finish offers a sleek shine, while unlacquered brass caps on the front legs are polished, but will slowly develop the patina of a vintage find. Woven from tonal sand-colored yarns, silky performance velvet cushions feature a tailored welt trim and subtle striations in the upholstery that catch the light. "We leaned into complex materiality for a collection that is as elegant and grown up as it is daring," says Gwyneth Paltrow, CEO and founder of goop. Designed to pique interest at a formal dining table, the armchair also works beautifully as a desk chair or as an accent piece while flanking a credenza. CB2 exclusive.
