Set Of 2 Contemporary Block Form Yellow Velvet Chair By Pietro Franceschini

Set of 2 Licitra chairs by Pietro FranceschiniDimensions: W 62 x D 71 x H 95 cmMaterials: mohair velvetSomebody once said that simplicity is the essence of happiness. So I dedicated this work to my friend Caterina Licitra.Licitra chair challenges the ability to simplify, eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary can speak. The hardedged and bold silhouette speaks a clean language made of a few primitive volumes that firmly fit together. The soft and bright texture of the yellow Pierre Frey Mohair brings a contrast. The blend is sculptural and playful making Licitra a love-at-first-sight.The piece is locally manufactured in Milan and two versions in different fabrics will follow. The perfect location for the launch is the iconic Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille for the Héritages exhibition by Galerie Philia.Pietro FranceschiniArchitect // designerPietro Franceschini is an architect and designer based in New York and Florence.
