Park Avenue
Park Avenue: the New York boulevard where you will find the iconic Chrysler Building and Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Names that conjure up a sense of luxury and timeless beauty, of confidence and individuality. The same goes for Jan te Lintelo’s ‘Park Avenue’—a modular system with curvilinear shapes and subtle, horizontal lines that offer numerous possibilities to create your very own, playful interpretation. Thanks to a unique sliding system you can easily adapt the seating angle: more upright when having a conversation or lounging lazily when reading a thrilling book.
