Joseph Club Chair
Classic club chairs are best dressed in deep-buttoned or quilted covers.
But for JOSEPH, Philippe Nigro has instigated a dialogue between this traditional aesthetic and an inviting, flat surface: the soft, smoothly upholstered seat and backrest are protectively enclosed by a quilted upholstered shell, which also forms the armrests. The gridded quilting – redolent of the goldsmithery that came out of the Secession movement – adds a decorative element while defining the piece’s proportions. The strict formal lines of the armrest shell contrast harmoniously with the seat, where a Wittmann pocket spring core and ingeniously devised polymousse structure assure maximum comfort.
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.
