Ligne-roset Manarola Armchair
MANAROLA ARMCHAIR
MANAROLA ARMCHAIR
Designed by Philippe Nigro
In 2016, Philippe Nigro set himself a new challenge : to reinvent the extreme comfort of the Ligne Roset all-foam seating of the Seventies.
With Manarola, Philippe Nigro has designed a new type of seating which offers remarkable comfort and a very welcoming appearance. To achieve this, the whole seat seems like a single large cushion placed on a light yet assertive base.
The metal frame which lends it shape is enveloped in foam and the upholstered part of the seat rests on the elegant solid wood buttresses supporting the back which make up the base.

COMFORT
-Seat in high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam 36 kg/m3 - 2.8 kPa. Back in high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam 26 kg/m3 - 1.,4 kPa. -Comfort layer on seat and back in ultra-flexible polyurethane foam 30 kg/m3 - 1.8 kPa. Footstool in high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam 38 kg/m3 - 3.6 kPa.
CONSTRUCTION
Steel tubing, wire and mesh for both armchair and settees. Panels of 3-layer particleboard for the footstool.
MAKING-UP
Cover quilted with 110 g/m² polyester. Twin needle stitch detailing on cover. Creases will form on the seat and back in the case of less stretchy covering materials such as velours (Cloud) : these are part and parcel of the look of the model and are a visual expression of soft, welcoming comfort. This effect may be minimised by selecting more stretchy covering materials such as jerseys or certain wools (e.g. Divina). Cover may be removed by an upholsterer.
