Allure armchair – Molteni&C.
The design of the Allure armchair designed for Molteni&C. rose from the research of a Contemporary Classical. The idea of classical does not imply a citation or a repetition of classical elements but rather suggests an idea of balance and proportion. We studied the Empire style armchairs and the Italian chairs dated from the years between the two wars, particularily Giò Ponti and Guglielmo Ulrich. These schemes have been translated into a contemporary language. The result is a sinuous line, yet simple, refined, and even if descrete, characterized by subtile thicknesses and bold lines. The arms of the chair are in metal, resistant to wear and impact. The colors of the cover (leather or fabric) and the body can be accustomed to the space in which they are placed. The dimensions and finishes studied for Allure have been designed for both households and common spaces of hotel suites and residences.
