"Moleskine" Portable Atelier Stool Designed By Philippe Nigro For Driade

Stool adjustable in heigh. Black matt painted steel structure. Seat and components in massive oak. Indoor use only.Philippe Nigro designed a light looking desk: a top in birch plywood, oak veneered, and a flapdoor opening style set on a structure in steel sheet, painted in matte black and enriched by oak details. Its small size and linear design make this elegant desk perfect to be used in different places: at office or as a console in a living room or in a bedroom.An accessory kit is available - including a side and front panels and a sliding element for paper - to allow the desk to be personalized, emphasizing the image of an intimate and personal space. In the collection’s “nomadic” spirit, the stool is perfect for any room in the house, although it was designed to be used with the desk. Height-adjustable with a round oak seat set on a tripod structure in aluminum sheet painted black, this stool has a playful linear design that matches the base of the desk.PHILIPPE NIGRO, born in 1975 in Nice, France, studied applied arts and product design at La Martinière School and École Boulle. Today, he works primarily in Italy and France. An independent designer since 1999, he began and completed his pursuits alongside Michele De Lucchi, with whom he took part in many design projects for furniture, lamp, interior design, special event management and scenography for companies including Olivetti, Poltrona Frau, Artemide, Alias, Caimi, Feg, Listone Giordano.Since 2005, planned projects are supported by the VIA (Valorisation of Innovation in Furnishing), through which he receives backing for undertakings like the “Spiral” shelf, the “Storage-Unit” and the “Intersections” sofas, the latter renamed “Confluences” and produced by Ligne Roset (now part of the FNAC and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs collections).In 2009, he designed the “Universal Base”, rechristened the “T.U.” (again by Ligne Roset) and the “Twin-Chairs” seats (both now in the Centre Pompidou collection). He has since been designing for a variety of producers, such as De Castelli, for which he created the “Think Station” in 2010 as part of the INTERNI Think Tank exhibition.
