EU/PHORIA CHAIRS, PAOLO NAVONE

 

"The Eu/phoria chairs are shells supported by a slender frame. They are part chair and part armchair. They can be adorned with intense colours, in lively Vichy checks or country stripes, in more sober houndstooth, or in supple Alcantara. Changing the fabric changes their appearance completely. They have an industrial spirit and feminine grace, and they are eco-friendly, because the manufacture of the shell uses material left over from woodworking. They are chameleons that can adapt to any surroundings. In the all-black version, they are perfect in any office, they look great in a bar when covered with Chinese material, and there are several cheery and delicate multicolour versions for the home. They are nomadic and imaginative; youthful and revolutionary. "  VIA
