Roly Poly Armchair In Yellow By Faye Toogood With Casentino Cushions

Duplex launches DUPLEX X CASENTINO. The iconic Roly Poly armchair designed by Faye Toogood and manufactured by Driade, with the exclusive cushions in the ancient Casentino cloth from Tuscany, Italy.Casentino is a rugged and compact wool fabric used since the Middle Ages tomake blankets for the animals or Franciscan friars’ cowls, because of itscharacteristic strength and durability. It then made its fortune in the 18th century,when the wool cloth became the primary product of the numerous wool mills ofthe Casentino valley.After having become a fashionable and a sought after garment in the 19thcentury, thanks to its peculiar “swirls” or “curls” and to its classic extravagantcolors, the Casentino fabric encountered the likes of personalities such as GiuseppeVerdi and Giacomo Puccini. They wore very elegant double breasted coats withhaute-couture cut.Duplex’s fascination in combining different fields and times brings now togetherthe 21st century Faye Toogood’s Roly Poly with the long-lived, nearly forgottenCasentino fabric.
