At some point during the 19th century, the ‘crapaud’ saw the light of day—a compact armchair, with a rounded back seamlessly gliding into lower armrests, providing a comfortable hug. Guillaume Lopez was inspired by its elegant silhouette, in a contemporary, sculptural interpretation: ‘Claude’, named after his grandfather. As an armchair—with a closed, oak-veneered base—‘Claude’ is the perfect addition to your seating area. Thanks to its open base front, the slightly higher version is the perfect dining or desk chair.
