Billiani
Nordica 600
Marco Ferreri reinterprets an icon of Scandinavian design, the classic cockpit seat, and creates a chair of great constructive simplicity with a touch of elegance. And if the shape is Nordic–inspired, the technique follows the Billiani tradition, with visible fillet cuts, turned base and increased thicknesses. The curved backrest, which extends to form the armrests, gives Nordica a very specific personality, welcoming those who sit in it with just the right comfort.

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.
Marco Ferreri
Marco Ferreri was born in Imperia in 1958 and graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1981. A student of Bruno Munari, he worked with Marco Zanuso and has had his own studio in Milan since 1984. His work is held by MoMA in New York, and in 2010 the Milan Triennale dedicated an exhibition to it.
In 2001 his Foglia chair marked Billiani’s entry into design and was selected for the Compasso d’Oro, and he designed the company’s stand for its 2002 Salone debut. In 2012 he designed Nordica, reinterpreting the Scandinavian cockpit seat.
