An armchair/character, with an organic outline, perhaps anthropomorphous, conceived with leather directly fixed on a fiberglass skeleton. A tribute, to the great Carlo Mollino and to the Danish design of the 50s, led by Starck with impeccable mastery.

The armchair, then, is entirely covered in leather and hand-stitched. The unexpected comfort is given by its perfect ergonomics.

Lievore Altherr Molina, the Barcelona-based design firm typically designs harmonious and balanced items as well as intense shapes balanced in a peaceful tension. For Driade they have designed Verlaine, a sofa complete with a pouf sporting an exceptionally expressive versatility that reminds of organic and flowing shapes. Its fascinating silhouette is an irresistible attraction inviting […]

Inspiration does not follow regular routes. Only with hindsight does inspiration seem indeed logical. One thing is true, though: inspiration is a source of inspiration.” With these words – at the same time playful and profound – designers Marten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune sum up the coming into being of the Kelly project […]
