Reigning Champ has made a name for itself by crafting some of the best high-end sportswear in the world. From iconic crewnecks to varsity jackets, few stones are left unturned when it comes to the canon of classic sportswear. The label rarely ventures beyond those bounds, though — if you’re an expert in what you do, why would you?
That’s perhaps why the latest drop, Reigning Champ x Modernica, is such a surprise. Reigning Champ chairs? We wouldn’t have guessed it, but we’re so into them.
Modernica needs no introduction. The furniture maker has been doing its clean, signature thing for over 30 years now, outfitting the most stylish interiors in the world with effortless cool. Modernica chairs arguably embody this kind of understated modernist nonchalance.
The Side Shell and Arm Shell Rocker are the chosen designs for Reigning Champ x Modernica, which sees the two fiberglass chairs outfitted in pure aniline-dyed Sierra leather. Its buttery texture is only emphasized by the sleek black finish, rounded out by powder-coated metal hardware.
If you thought that the varnished, clean lines of mid-century furniture had become played out last year, this is Reigning Champ and Modernica telling you that with a bit of design ingenuity, there’s a whole lot left in the tank. The sleek, all-black finish modernizes the classic, flowing shapes to repackage all the good things about mid-century style for the next chapter.
