As a self-proclaimed movie buff, Sandra Benhamou spent most of her adult life working on movie sets, immersing herself in the wonderful make-believe of tinsel town. Then, in 2010, she decided to create more permanent settings for private clients and founded her namesake design studio. Since then, the French designer has been injecting cinematic drama, sophistication, and sensuality into her projects, crafting perfect decors imbued with glamour and intrigue. Her signature style is one of confident taste, defined by a seamless display of contemporary artworks and designs, vintage furniture, and custom pieces. The Dolly armchair is part of the Ginger Collection, a line of furniture that pays homage to all the familiar seventies tropes that marked our imagination. From the flamboyant atmospheres of Studio 54 to the frenetic sets of Martin Scorsese and the private rooms of Las Vegas—where mafiosi, artists, and politicians traded secrets—Sandra takes us on a journey of glitz & glam.
The name Ginger itself is a tribute to the unforgettable character played by Sharon Stone in Scorsese’s masterpiece Casino. Sensual and bold, the Dolly armchair features a fascinating back, defined by a dramatic and elegant silhouette that evokes the bottom of a mermaid gown. The seat is plush and ultra-comfy, while the contours conjure a soft embrace. You can’t help but fall in love with its glamorous and stunning design. Originally designed to be dressed in luxurious velvet, the Dolly Armchair is available exclusively through us in a variety of desirable fabrics, including jacquard and bouclĂ©, which will add to its allure.
