Proust Geometrica Armchair
Cappellini Proust Geometrica updates Alessandro Mendini's sculptural armchair with vivid geometric blocks of color.
Its hand-carved, hand-painted solid beech frame carries the pattern into fixed cotton upholstery, creating a continuous composition across wood and fabric. Introduced in 2009, this version retains the elaborate silhouette of Proust while giving the chair a distinctly graphic character.
