Billiani INTRODUCES

FRATINA

Category: Seating

fratina

Fratina is inspired by those classic chairs with rush seats. In Emilio Nanni's reinterpretation, the designer exaggerates its lines, the legs have a round section and the backrest, attached to the rear legs, is generous to the point of becoming a semicircle in the armchair version. The seat is available in fabric, leather, leather straps or woven cellulose cord, which simulates the ancient processing of rush wickerwork. Awarded the Red Dot Design Award in 2016, Fratina is quintessentially Billiani - a chair in perfect balance between tradition and experimentation.

In the Fleuron chair and lounge chair by Constance Guisset the rationality of the design, based on the idea of a buttress that reinforces a wall, meets the softness of a curved line.
