I Cuscini Decorativi - Journey
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.

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. |
