Pilotis

Designed by Philippe Nigro, the armchair highlights its supporting frame as a defining feature: inclined solid Canaletto walnut legs provide stability while establishing a distinctive visual rhythm.

In contrast, the soft, enveloping volumes of the seat and backrest introduce a sense of intimacy and ease. Upholstered with layered padding in polyurethane foam, polyester wadding, and goose down, it offers both support and comfort. Ideal for quiet, personal spaces, Pilotis extends into a complete family including a pouf and sofa.

In 2008, he was awarded 2nd prize in the ‘Autogrill’ restaurant competition, with M. Biffi.

Since 2005, long-term furniture projects have been supported by the VIA, thanks to which he was able to design the Spiral shelf, Storage-Unit chest and Intersection divans and, in January 2009, the Twin-Chairs chairs and the Tréteau universal table base. Certain of his projects have been put into production, such as Cross-Unit (Sintesi) or Intersection, from which sprang the Confluences collection of upholstery, produced by Ligne Roset.
