Ibisco by Luigi Billiani is a collection of chairs in solid beechwood that combines lightness and strength. The chair, armchair and stool are a contemporary interpretation of a 1970s design, featuring minimalist volumes and balance proportions. The chair sides are created by a combination of cylindrical and linear shapes, forming a harmonious, clean design. The reference to the “director’s chair” can be seen in the minimalist design, while the finish enhances the natural wood of the structure. The seat can be upholstered or made with woven elastic webbing, ensuring comfort without compromising on the purity of the design. Ibisco brings the tradition of solid wood into everyday life with elegance and an unmistakable light touch in the design.
The Dune armchair, designed by Park, combines elegance and modernity in a contemporary design. The shaped body has been upholstered with precision tailoring, paying particular attention to the backrest, which is more pronounced on the inside in order to offer greater comfort to the sitter. The play of light and shade on the surface emphasise the almost sculptural visual effect, which highlights the enveloping shape of the upholstery. The base has a wealth of details in solid beechwood with fine finger box joints, underlining the construction quality and care that are typical of Billiani.
The Babà Soft collection by Emilio Nanni is inspired by the traditional Neapolitan cake – simple, brilliant and intoxicating. Its full, generous volume, the archetype of the upholstered chair, is reinterpreted with graceful lines that evoke an elegant simplicity. The handcrafted touch highlights the artisanal quality of the chair, giving it an almost tailored feel. The collection includes an upholstered chair and armchair, lounge chair and ottoman.
An homage to traditional Alpine heritage, reimagined with a contemporary twist. For the Cortina Collection, Fabrizio Gallinaro started from the idea of combining the base of a classic Alpine chair with the curved shell typical of modern Scandi-inspired armchairs. The result of this experimentation is a collection with a Nordic aesthetic and curved lines, whose name celebrates the Queen of the Dolomites, an iconic location in the Italian mountains at the crossroads between myth and legend, nature and culture, tradition and glamour. The chair features a curved, enveloping backrest, while the armchair features a wooden armrest fixed to the seat, onto which the fabric backrest is mounted. A construction detail with a handcrafted feel that reflects Billiani’s woodworking expertise.
In the Wround collection, the tubular steel frame supports a seat and back of comfortable proportions. The concept is repeated in the various versions, which include the chair, the small armchair with armrests, the stool and the lounge chair. All have been designed to meet the needs of areas for entertaining guests that require light, customisable and coordinated seating for the various areas.

As the name suggests, Wrap Steel is a chair whose distinguishing feature is its wraparound chair back. The slender, dynamic tubular metal frame is perfectly integrated into the chair back, giving a contemporary feel to this light and versatile chair that is perfect for contract spaces.

Inspired by treatment and well-being centres, the Kursaal armchair embodies pure comfort. The solid structure in wood has an arm designed to be firmly gripped. The seat and back are spacious and comfortable, and fully padded. Kursaal is also available as a chair or in a lower, larger-proportioned lounge version.
Graziella and Renzo Fauciglietti took their inspiration from the pop idol par excellence when designing a collection focusing on being recognisable. The soft, gentle lines make Marilyn a comfortable chair, and even more so in the small armchair version with the curved back. The chair is easy to place. The wooden versions are perfect for socialising and eating together, while the versions with a metal base are more contemporary and therefore more corporate in style.

The Eileen collection is Werther Toffoloni’s tribute to Eileen Grey, one of the first women designers and a pioneer of the international style. The chair and armchair feature construction details that enhance the way the wood has been finished, while the sartorial inspiration for the quilted leather cushioning makes it soft and welcoming, as well as extremely sophisticated.
The distinctive feature of Button Down is the detail of the button fastening of the back to the frame, which inspired the name of this collection, as simple and classic as the iconic button-down shirt itself. The tubular steel frame supports the padded seat and back, also available in beechwood or ash, creating a versatile chair suitable for various contract furniture settings.
