Cappellini Proust Armchair

This armchair has been in the “list of things to talk about” for a while now… finally, it’s time!

Designed by Alessandro Mendini and produced by Studio Alchimia, Cappellini Proust Armchair was originally created for Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, back in 1978 and immediatly recognised as one of the design icons of the last century.

Re-interpreted in 2009 (above), Geometrica Proust Armchair preserves the forms of the original armchair (below) while giving them new life into the original design.
