PORTABELLA Lounge Chair

One of the standout collaborations between VIVERE Collection and designer Abie Abdillah is the PORTABELLA Lounge Chair. Inspired by the elegance of nature, the chair takes its name from the portabello mushroom. Its design reflects the mushroom’s unique character, an exposed rattan frame reminiscent of the mushroom’s grill, paired with finely shaped cushions that unfold like petals in bloom.
