Figure Lounge Chair

Like pebbles seemingly randomly thrown together by nature, colourful gemstones coalesce in harmonious patterns and, framed by precious metal, are transformed into brooches and pendants – Josef Hoffmann's Wiener Werkstätte-era jewellery had already provided the inspiration for Luca Nichetto's ANTILLES table series. Now, FIGURE is taking the idea to the next level. And into the third dimension. The sofa and lounge chairs in the series elevate the oval stones from the two-dimensional surface onto a three-dimensional plane. Together, Nichetto and Wittmann have worked up a statement piece, a design object with an organic and sculptural aesthetic. Also part of the family, the lounge chair adheres to the same design principle. Likewise comprising two elements, a backrest stands protectively behind the seat, lending the single-seater additional stability and support. The seating comfort provided by these aesthetically engaging and organically flowing sculptures is scarcely imaginable for such artful forms.
