The Grace armchair, designed by designer Emmanuel Gallina for Poliform, embodies the discreet elegance and refinement of contemporary design. With its clean lines and subtle balance between structure and comfort, it stands out as both a functional and sophisticated seating option. Its enveloping silhouette, characterized by a curved backrest and integrated armrests, provides ideal ergonomic support for extended use, whether around a dining table or in a professional setting. The solid wood frame, available in various types and finishes (Spessart oak, black oak, ash walnut, etc.), supports a generously padded seat upholstered in high-quality fabric or leather. Every detail reflects meticulous craftsmanship: discreet stitching, precise joints, and impeccable finishes. Compact yet comfortable, the Grace chair fits seamlessly into a wide range of interiors, from classic to contemporary. It embodies a certain idea of understated luxury, where comfort meets simplicity of form to create a timeless and durable piece.
To define his work as a designer, Emmanuel Gallina likes to refer to Constantin Brancusi's quote "simplicity as resolved complexity". Elegance, clarity and simplicity are the key words that best characterise the work of Emmanuel Gallina. Her creative ethos is as much about authenticity as it is about consistency in each of her projects. For him, attention to detail is a constant reality in terms of line, form and functionality.A graduate of the E.N.A.D in Limoges and the I.A.V in Orléans, he decided to move to Milan to further his training at the Politecnico, where he obtained a Master's degree in design and management. He then worked for 7 years with Antonio Citterio in Milan on projects for some of the biggest names in international design. Now Emmanuel Gallinaworks for his own agency where he responds to numerous projects mainly between Italy and France, opening collaborations with resolutely contemporary international brands such as Poliform, Cartier, Panasonic, Accor, Ampm La Redoute, Burov, Ethimo, Toulemonde Bochart, Manade, Colé, ACRE made in amazonia, etc...Since 2010, he has been guiding and advising various companies on marketing and identity strategies linked to design, as art director.
