The Ren armchair and sofa have the distinctive traits of the collection: very modern lines, clean and simple, with compact but extremely comfortable volumes.‎ The armchair is inspired by classic theatre foyer chairs with an enveloping backrest that also functions as an armrest.‎ The seat is deliberately quite shallow and the lumbar cushion adds a touch of comfort and gives the backrest rhythm.‎ The same enveloping simplicity is found in the sofa.‎ Each piece consists of two “ren”, which make up the main structure and together support the secondary structures.‎ The junctions between the supporting structure in solid Canaletto walnut and the shell of the backrest in curved beech are refined externally with brass rings.‎ The Ren sofa and armchair can be upholstered entirely in Pelle Frau® leather or the leather upholstery for the seat can be combined with a fabric lumbar cushion.‎Ren is a symbolic reference to the centrality of human beings in interior design.‎ Armchair, sofa and a complete collection of furniture accessories inspired by the Chinese ideogram “ren”, which means “person”.‎ The longer stroke sticks out slightly and is supported by the shorter stroke: a symbol, pure and simple, that transforms into an original design element characterising the profile of every object.‎ When designing the elements in this series, Neri & Hu sought to maximise their versatility and adaptability to different spaces, giving people the chance to create welcoming homes with the utmost freedom.‎ In fact, they can be used in the entrance hall, living room, bedroom, bathroom and study, but are also perfect for non-domestic spaces such as meeting rooms or waiting areas.‎ All of the objects are made of wood, brass and saddle-leather: fine materials that are showcased thanks to the simplicity of the design.‎
