Billiani
Green 001
Francesco Faccin is a designer who loves wood and craftsmanship. With Billiani, therefore, the perfect connection was created and Green is the result. The starting point is the Nordic design of the 1930s, but with tweaked proportions. The profile, solid yet essential, integrates the structural elements and the curved backrest is welcoming, as is the shape of the seat. The legs, slightly oversized compared to the norm, are lightened by the thin and slightly raised seat.

Billiani
We have produced wooden chairs in Italy for over a century, in a region of small specialized workshops where the culture of wood has deep roots.
The Billiani company was founded in 1911 to produce chairs in curved wood with caning. In 2019 Cristina Celestino, an architect and designer based in Milan, was appointed as the company’s artistic director. The chair is still a central focus, as is the material: wood, the true leitmotif of the collection.
Francesco Faccin
Francesco Faccin was born in Milan in 1977. After studying industrial design he worked in Enzo Mari’s studio and with the lute-maker Francesco Rivolta, then opened his own studio in Milan in 2007. From 2009 to 2015 he consulted for Michele De Lucchi, and in 2013 he was an Italian Fellow at the American Academy in Rome.
He has designed for Danese, Miniforms and Tod’s and created Honey Factory, a micro-architecture for urban beekeeping, for Expo 2015. For Billiani he designed Green in 2017, a stackable solid ash chair based on 1930s Nordic design with tweaked proportions.
