The volume, made through a rotational molding, is in fact carved and shows provocatively the inside, finished in different colors. From the typological point of view also worth […]
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 frame is the result of a complex and skilful construction: a first outer shell made of […]
