The New MaterialForm Collection: highlighting the debut of Fabio Calvi and Paolo Brambilla

Unusual materials, sinuous shapes, and tactile surfaces: Frigerio opens up a new chapter in its design research by presenting projects that reinterprt the artisan craftsmanship with an unexpected twist, open to sensory feelings.

The new MaterialForm collection, highlighting the debut of Fabio Calvi and Paolo Brambilla by reconfirming the collaboration with Gordon Guillaumier, Federica Biasi, and Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, is a sophisticated project that elegantly, and measuredly explores the relationship between matter, form, and perception.

Volumes become softer and the atmosphere becomes eclectic, creating environments that combine intimacy and sociality in a harmonious balance. Alongside upholstery, fabric, leather, metal, and wood – the brand’s privileged materials – reed, rattan, ceramic, and recycled leather peep out: materials from the Italian craft tradition are dressed in new expressiveness, complemented by the creative use of waste materials with a sustainable approach, fitting naturally into the aesthetic language of the Frigerio collection.

The result is a mix of vibrant energy, in which every detail is designed to offer an authentic experience, rich in emotion and refinement, confirming Frigerio’s ability to offer an increasingly multifaceted and personal vision of living.

PAN ARMCHAIR
Gordon Guillaumier pays homage to the great design classics with the Pan armchair, which reinterprets in a contemporary key the reed working typical of Italian craftsmanship in the 1950s and 1960s.

Divertissement and recollection come together in this piece, in which the natural material is steam-bent to achieve the desired bending and then dark-coloured to enter into dialogue with the contemporary indoor settings.

With its enveloping u-shape and the succession of arch ribs, which have different curvatures one from the other, the Pan armchair is the result of meticulous craftsmanship: its bold shape contrasting with the soft seat and back transforms it into a domestic sculpture, impressing a new twist to the Frigerio living area.
