Patrick Norguet by Cassina
1 resultsCollection: Patrick Norguet
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
A lounge chair of timeless beauty that, as the designer explains, respects classic traditions, but with a contemporary twist. Cassina’s signature structure: a metal frame set within a polyurethane-injected foam shell, turns the padding into a major player, conjuring an inviting and extremely comfortable mood. The aluminium or solid wood base, and all-wood joints, are an expression of the quality and refinement of Cassina carpentry, while the wide array of finishes complete the picture in fine style. Available with or without the “wing” head-rest, this chair is supplied in a wide array of upholstery options, with zippers to make them removable.
Born in 1969 in Tours, Patrick Norguet trained at the Ecole Supérieure du Design Industriel in Paris. After graduating, he designed window displays for fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and stands for Renault. These experiences launched him internationally in the interior and furniture design sector. In 1999, he founded an office in Paris and the following year, he made a name for himself with the Rainbow chair selected and produced by Giulio Cappellini. The chair quickly became a design icon, included in the permanent collection at MoMA in New York. He also designed the Rive Droite swivel armchair for Cappellini, available with Emilio Pucci upholstery. Norguet's bond with the fashion world is a constant in his career with his work for such fashion houses as Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Lanvin, Guerlain and Hermès.
