Avoid placing it against a wall. As subtly staged in the image, pair it with a vintage rug with geometric patterns and vibrant colors typical of the 70s. The contrast between the minimalist khaki of the armchair and the warm tones of the rug will create a high-end lounge area with a rare visual impact.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abalone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59888021111118,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/0804\/1294\/files\/IMG_9986.jpg?v=1781438226","url":"https:\/\/villa5070.fr\/en\/products\/fauteuil-balloon-hans-olsen-danemark-circa-1960","provider":"VILLA5070","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
