Cortina is an upholstered lounge chair with a beech wood frame.A natural extension of the Cortina collection, it reinforces its welcoming character and its connection to Alpine tradition.The lounge chair takes up the distinctive elements of the small armchair: the solid beech wood armrest fixed to the seat and the enveloping backrest, developing them in larger proportions and with greater comfort.The dialogue between wood and fabric highlights the balance between solidity and lightness, while the armrest’s structural detail expresses the craftsmanship and know-how of Billiani.The result is a warm, contemporary seating piece designed for relaxation.Cortina is a collection that pays tribute to traditional Alpine heritage, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.For this collection, Fabrizio Gallinaro began with the idea of combining the base of a classic Alpine chair with the curved shell typical of modern, Scandinavian-inspired armchairs.The result is a collection with a Nordic aesthetic, named after the iconic Italian mountain town that stands at the crossroads of myth and legend, nature and culture, tradition and glamour.The chair features a curved, enveloping backrest, while the armchair is distinguished by wooden armrests attached to the seat, with a fabric-upholstered backrest set into them—a handcrafted construction detail that showcases Billiani’s skill in fine woodworking.
