FRAME DORMEUSE ARMCHAIR
FRAME DORMEUSE ARMCHAIR
Designed By Stefano Giovannoni
Stefano Giovannoni designs Frame for GHIDINI1961, a new collection composed of sofas, armchairs, dining and coffee tables, bookshelves and cabinets.
Everything starts from a simple element: "the joint", which, combined with elegant rounded 45 degrees extrusions, creates an almost infinite family.
The collection is characterized by organic junctions that – in their possible combinations – create minimal, compact and powerful structures. Frame is built starting from few elements that are able to create a large family with essential lines.
Small tables and storage units are played with different materials, such as glass, wood and marble, while the sofa has a leather structure and fabric cushions.

Tivano is a semi-aniline leather with a hand-buffed finishing and a stone-washed effect. Produced with cattle of european origin, it has a thickness of 1.2-1.4 mm. The size of each skin is about 5 sqm. Due to the technical characteristics of the finish it is not possible to grant high surface resistance to rubbing or light.
SAFIRE FABRIC
Safire’s coarse surface structure gives a subtle handwoven appearance that is both unique and dynamic, adding a special and unique dimension to this upholstery fabric.
