‘NARINARI’ CHAIR

by Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, for B&B Italia

Upholstered in raw-cut felt, this unusual armchair comes with a winged backrest inspired by the shape of a spotted eagle ray gliding through the sea and jumping out of the water. Its young Milan-based designers, Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, have merged their experience in fashion and architectural design to create this origami-like seat with meticulous detailing and contrasting curves.
