- Description
- Designer Bio
A lounge chair of timeless
beauty that, as the designer explains, respects classic traditions, but with a
contemporary twist. Cassina’s signature structure: a metal frame set within a
polyurethane-injected foam shell, turns the padding into a major player,
conjuring an inviting and extremely comfortable mood. The aluminium or solid
wood base, and all-wood joints, are an expression of the quality and refinement
of Cassina carpentry, while the wide array of finishes complete the picture in
fine style. Available with or without the “wing” head-rest, this chair is
supplied in a wide array of upholstery options, with zippers to make them
removable.

Patrick Norguet |
French designer Patrick Norguet, close to fashion world through
his collaboration with Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Guerlain and Christian Dior,
completes his personal formation at the EDSI where he built up a unique
approach based on eclecticism and a thorough knowledge of materials and
manufacturing processes. In 2000 he opened his personal design office;
nowadays, he is involved in industrial and interior design, dedicating himself
to create also exhibitions for Van Cleef and Renault. Awarded as “Designer of
the Year” in 2005, Norguet belongs to that generation which is making known the
“french touch” on the international stage; with his designs he perfectly
interprets Cappellini’s theory of the union between fashion and design,
projecting items of great presence for both sectors, working for innovation but
keeping the greatest semplicity. For brands such as Lancel, Cappellini,
Poltrona Frau, Flaminia, Frighetto, Molteni&C, Gebruder Thonet Vienna,
Maxdesign, Modus, Artifort and Bernhardt he loves to work on emotions and
intuition, finding alternative slants on everyday objects and their specific
settings.
Some of his works are part of the permanent collections of
prestigious museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. |
