LA PALMA, CA — Cleanly tailored and quietly expressive, Lapella, Encore’s newest lounge seating collection, brings a light, elevated presence to spaces while maintaining a relaxed, approachable feel.
Inspired by the clarity of modernist design, Lapella is defined by an exposed metal frame that conveys a distinctive architectural feel. Rather than being concealed, it’s thoughtfully revealed through the arms, shaping the profile while adding visual interest. Upholstery wraps and folds over the frame in an understated nod to the lapel of a jacket, creating a seamless connection that sets Lapella apart.
Available in lounge, love seat and sofa models, it offers a cohesive solution for settings ranging from lobbies and lounges to collaborative zones and other informal gathering areas. Fixed, pillow-like cushions introduce a softer, more residential sensibility, while tailored stitching and well-considered proportions keep the overall appearance refined.
Metal finishes are offered in a range of standard and premium options, allowing for subtle tone-on-tone pairings or more defined contrast with upholstery. This flexibility supports any number of color palettes, from warm and layered to modern and minimal.
“When developing the series, great care was taken to achieve the right balance,” says Zach McNally, Encore VP of Sales. “The exposed frame brings structure to the design, while the upholstery softens it in a way that feels comfortable and lends a more residential look.”
Lapella is Encore’s latest collaboration with 5D Studio, building on a shared approach that values careful detailing and purpose shaped with intent. The result is a collection that integrates seamlessly into environments while offering a distinct point of view—one that is both composed and inviting.
