Carinzia Barstool
The cultural legacy of Vienna and its many renowned designers is always an inspiration for designers.
In connection with Wittmann, the work of Josef Hoffmann is often cited for obvious reasons. LucidiPevere borrowed from Hoffmann’s Fledermaus chair for the compact and smoothly self-contained form of the Carizina chair series. Its harmonious proportions and the simplicity of all elements correspond to the aesthetic understanding of the designers. LucidiPevere and Wittmann share a passion for craftsmanship. Added to this is the urge not to take design boundaries for granted, but to always find new ways to implement exciting forms. With Carinzia, for example, they succeed in accommodating the greatest possible comfort in a small space: the pocket spring core in the seat ensures comfort at the table even over a longer period of time.
The seat cushion is framed by a precisely guided welt, and the backrest takes up this curve. All wooden parts of the base are joined as if flowing into each other, creating an uncomplicated and straightforward impression. Different types of wood as well as a wide range of colors allow for creative design of the chair frame. Together with the free choice of cover material, Carinzia thus has a wide variety of faces, which can also be combined with each other, depending on your mood. Just like the chair, the bar stool is equipped with a high-quality pocket spring core in the seat and the options are also completely open when it comes to the color design. A well-positioned footrest ensures ease in leg posture.
Wittmann
Wittmann creates treasured pieces: They are the product of an uncompromising approach to craft and design – two elements that have been uniquely cultivated by Wittmann right from the very start. Wittmann is adept at setting trends, creating milestones in the history of furniture.
Unmatched craftsmanship, as well as meticulous selection and working of fine materials, provide the basis for executing new ideas and forms. To bring them to life, Wittmann regularly partners with the greatest names of their time. And it is not uncommon for long-term cooperations to be the outcome: collaborators including Johannes Spalt, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Thun and Paolo Piva set the direction that Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner and Luca Nichetto have now seamlessly picked up on, taking it into a new era.
