Bright Chromed

BETA Black 155 Leather

The design of the Papilio chair emphasises the Japanese aim of the designer at giving preference to details, including the less noticeable ones. There is a balance of form, which starts from the curve of the back and arrives until the long conical shape of the frame, in this new chair. The body, characterized by a constant thickness, expands into the superior part, allowing a natural posture during relaxing moments. This piece is also covered by fabric and leather, and also has a removable cover thanks to a metallic zip that characterizes its back.

Chair 49w x 57d x 83h cm seat height 46 cm

Naoto Fukasawa

Born in 1956 in the Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan, Fukasawa graduated in 1980 in product design at the Tama Art University. He moved to America to work with Ideo in San Francisco for 8 years, and returned home as Director of Ideo Japan in 1996. In 2003 Fukasawa established the Naoto Fukasawa Design studio in Tokyo and subsequently opened his own retail outlets for his own design brand Plus Minus Zero that produces what he describes as mundane objects - calculators, fans and umbrellas. As well as his own collection, Fukasawa collaborates with international brands including Italian furniture groups B&B Italia and Driade, and the Japanese 'anti-brand' label Muji. Naoto travels widely to talk and exhibit work, collaborating with Jasper Morrison on the Super Normal exhibition and book in 2006.
