Luciano Frigerio 'Norman' Two Lounge Chairs in Walnut and Suede, Italy, 1968

Creator: Luciano Frigerio
Offered by: Zeger van Olden

Description
Luciano Frigerio's Norman set of two lounge chairs in walnut and suede exemplifies mid-century Italian elegance and craftsmanship. Renowned for his unique approach to furniture design, Frigerio's work combines sleek, minimalist lines with luxurious materials, creating pieces that are both functional and aesthetically stunning.

The Norman lounge chairs, crafted from rich walnut wood, showcases Frigerio's expertise in woodworking. The walnut's natural grain adds warmth and depth to the pieces, making them not only furniture but also art. The frames are sturdy yet refined, with clean lines that highlight the quality of the wood.

Complementing the walnut, the upholstery is made from high-quality suede, providing a soft and sumptuous seating experience. The suede's texture adds a layer of sophistication, contrasting beautifully with the smooth finish of the walnut. The color palette often features earthy tones, enhancing the natural aesthetic of the wood and creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

Frigerio, whose hobby was playing the piano, infused a sense of musical elegance into his designs. This Norman set's sleek lines and harmonious proportions subtly resemble the form of a grand piano, reflecting his passion for music.

While the walnut frames have gracefully withstood the test of time, the original suede upholstery, now over 50 years old, subtly calls for refreshing to restore its former glory. The necessary renewing of the upholstery will revive the set, ensuring it continues to offer both luxury and comfort for many more years.

Frigerio's Norman set of two lounge chairs remain a testament to timeless design, where every detail is considered, and materials are chosen not just for their appearance, but for the luxurious experience they offer. This set of two lounge chairs stands as a symbol of Frigerio's legacy in the world of high-end furniture design.
