Designed to elevate the ordinary, Julien Renault’s Layout Armchair 234 reflects a thoughtful approach to modern living, where form, function and circularity intersect. Its poised, contemporary profile is softened by a carefully placed backrest opening, giving the design a lighter, more open expression.
From private interiors to creative studios and social spaces, this version offers a welcoming seat with a sleek aluminium swivel base for fluid, intuitive mobility that elevates everyday comfort. Components can be fully disassembled to extend the chair’s lifespan and enable refurbishment for long-term use. The Layout 234 is fully upholstered with a choice of premium fabrics for enhanced texture and warmth, creating a sense of ease you’ll appreciate time and time again.
Furniture designer Julien Renault began his working life as an assistant to Sylvain Willenz.
Following a very successful period which saw him win several awards, he established his practice in 2011. Renault is inspired by everyday objects, with his designs clean, simple and minimalistic.
