Like a refined leather-bound travel diary, the collection of Journey decorative cushions celebrates the atmospheres and memories of once-visited places, summarising them in a sensitive and cultured account notable for its vivid colours. Designed for Poltrona Frau by Giulio Ridolfo in collaboration with Chiara Novello, the Journey decorative cushions depict the fields parched by the sun, the natural flow of watercourses and the yards of villages lit up by lanterns through a precious 3D-effect geometric weave. The Journey cushions are covered entirely in Pelle Frau SC leather and celebrate the new Colorsphere® system with three different multicolour proposals: Pier 1 is dedicated to the range of greens, Tannery to natural leatherware colours and Gion to shades of violet and dark blue.

 

About Designer
Giulio Ridolfo with Chiara Novello

Italian "colour master" Giulio Ridolfo was born in Udine, Italy and graduated with a Master degree in Fashion Design from Milan's Domus Academy in 1985. He has since worked as a sought-after colour advisor to many of the world's leading interior, clothing and footwear companies. Ridolfo draws his ispiration from diverse sources such as photography, art and fashion. He gathers images, colours, patterns and textures then combines these different elements and expressions until he creates something new. Before graduating in Architecture at Politecnico of Milan, Chiara Novello was able to deepen a more artisan and conceptual approach to architecture by studying at the Technical University of Lisbon. After years of collaboration with renowned architecture firms in Milan, in parallel with her academic assignments, in 2013 she founded Studio A/C with Alessia Pessano. Together they continue to develop projects of different scales, trying to always operate in the spaces in which they intervene with a bespoke approach, in search of a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
