The Bonsai Dormeuse, designed by the Swedish firm Claesson Koivisto Rune (CKR) for Arflex in 2011, is a wonderfully unique and visually arresting piece of furniture. The design draws its direct inspiration from the elegant, cultivated forms of the Japanese Bonsai tree. The Dormeuse is defined by its organic, asymmetric shape, designed to accommodate the body in various positions for ultimate relaxation. Its soft, rounded volumes evoke the smooth lines of a miniature tree or large, polished stone. The piece is supported by a single, prominent, cylindrical base—the "trunk"—that gives the illusion of a floating body. This base is often finished in a contrasting or dark color, highlighting the piece's sculptural nature. The generous, inviting upholstered body (the "foliage") stands in sharp contrast to the precise geometry of the base, creating a balanced and harmonious tension. Upholstered in high-quality materials and featuring differentiated-density polyurethane foam, the Bonsai Dormeuse provides exceptional, cocoon-like comfort, making it a luxurious statement piece for reading, lounging, or meditation. The Bonsai Dormeuse is an elegant expression of Nordic design meeting Italian craftsmanship, offering a piece that is as much a functional seat as it is a living sculpture.
