The Wheel hanging chair swing seat is sculptural and dynamic. Its striking circular shape lends itself for use as a functional art piece. The chair has an open yet enveloping feel. The pattern detail is inspired by nature and reminiscent of the veins in leaves, tree branches intersecting, the patterns in dragonfly wings, cracked soil and natural textures. Each one is made by hand. The core frame is standard to ensure consistency in shape and comfort.

BKF chair in normande cowhide

bO “FERRARI” Jorge Ferrari Hardoy was an architect and designer born in Buenos Aires, one of the two Argentinians that form part of the trio of creators of the mythical BKF chair. He is one of the fathers of the Modern Movement, a combination of trends that would break the architectonic tradition known until then, giving birth to the new modern architecture that would take its first steps in the first decades of the twentieth century. The Butterfly chair is, therefore, an essential part of this revolutionary design movement. It is the result of thinking, ideas and trend rupture of three of the fathers of the Modern Movement. More

GIA Restaurant

It may come across as a paradox, but we who love colour so very much, we have come to understand that it is like music: where the right balance between sound and silence is key. And we know that there are contexts where the absence of fancy colours in no way detracts from the charm of a beautiful venue.We are at the GIA in Dubai, the new Italian restaurant designed by the Australian studio Hecker Guthrie, who decided upon the selection of our Fratina chairs: “We wanted to add a casual element, within a relatively formal space. It is also sublimely comfortable, and it’s also the perfect dining chair.”The Fratina chairs, winners of the 2016 Red Dot Award, look their best in natural finishes, where the solid ashwood (here simply bleached)...
