Amongst Vincent van Gogh’s various paintings, there are a number that feature chairs. Simple, solid, traditional chairs of type that, more than a century ago, could be found in every country house. The Vincent v. G. is inspired by these, a collection designed by Werther Toffoloni that brings together ancient and modern, solidity and lightness, art and design.
Werther Toffoloni was born in Udine in 1930. After having studied in Venice, he taught industrial design and quickly started working in various design sectors and as an artistic consultant. He was quite prolific and undoubtedly a major player in Italian industrial design. Creativity, a thorough knowledge of materials, and a great eye for functionality were the hallmarks of his corpus of work. He died in 2017, at the age of 86.

VERETTA
Soft lines and simple geometry describe the contours of the Veretta chair, characterized by the feature ring in curved solid beechwood that surrounds the seat and houses the backrest.
RAQUETTE
The Cristina Celestino designed Raquette collection pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats.
Archetype-A
Archetype-A is a wooden chair designed by Mario Alessiani that celebrates the company’s origins and know-how. The design is as simple as possible. Nothing more than four legs, a seat and a back.
CROISSANT
Billiani opened up to the world of upholstery with a rich collection that includes side, arm and lounge chairs, barstool, sofa, pouf, bench and table.
MARIMBA
For the unprecedented combination of wood and leather, Marimba is a novelty in the Billiani collection.
Stella
A solid and reassuring chair with a back that embraces, ending with two decisive cuts inspired by the points of a star.
Flow
Flow is a short compendium of the history of the chair – a perfect combination of Italian tradition and the Scandinavian aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s.
Fleuron
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.
DOLL
The wooden Doll chair, Emilio Nanni’s first commissioned design for Billiani, expresses essentiality with grace and softness.
COROLLA TABLES
The Corolla tables maintain the soft and harmonious lines of the main Corolla seating collection.
FRISÉE TABLES
Cristina Celestino’s soft and enveloping touch exalts Billiani’s materials and know-how with pure colours, corners that turn into delicate curves, and bulbous leg-ends. Variously sized
FRISÉE
Frisée is a collection that combines the solidity of wood with an ironic and joyful frivolity.
