Parigi

Armchair

Aldo Rossi, 1989

Parigi is a highly distinctive, elegant armchair of sophisticated precision. A sculptural object that makes a real showcase of a space. Two blocks suspended in a metal frame define the finesse of the form.

Design Aldo Rossi, 1989

The extruded aluminium frame, the matt-black epoxy-powder finish and the expanded polyurethane foam back create an ingenious composition of lines, volumes and colour combinations.

Aldo Rossi

Aldo Rossi (Milan, May 3, 1931 - Milan, September 4, 1997) was one of the greatest Italian architects of the 1980’s. His Molteni Group collaboration marked his passage from masterful architect to an industrial designer. He created models and furnishings for the Museum of Maastricht, the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa and the reconstruction of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. Aldo Rossi designed items that were destined to become icons of the 20th century.
