The Tonella Mini Lounge Chair by Note Design Studio for Sancal reinterprets the classic vanity chair with contemporary elegance. Compact in scale yet visually expressive, its epoxy-coated steel base echoes the shape of a wine barrel, supporting a plush upholstered seat with quilted detailing.
Color commands attention, but in design, it also reveals control. The most compelling interiors use color not as decoration, but as a way of guiding the eye, shaping atmosphere, and defining emotion. Whether through high-gloss finishes, saturated fabrics, or a precise accent amid neutral calm, color becomes a tool of discipline as much as expression. In the hands of a thoughtful designer, it’s not excess but intention that gives hue its power.
