Description
With Papilio, designer Naoto Fukasawa wanted to create an armchair that gracefully 'welcomes' you, inspired by the image of a butterfly, “papillo" in Latin. The shape of Grande Papilio, is a fluid design carved out of the trunk of an upside-down cone, enhancing the breadth and generosity of the upper part of the back. With a welcoming, sinuous seat that offers total comfort to anyone who sits. Published by B&B Italia, the Grande Papilio is iconic, even if aesthetics are not the designer's priority. The designer, Naoto Fukasawa, who puts people’s needs before shapes, says, “I wanted the seat to be both comfortable and natural at the same time, that it's very shape was that of relaxation, if it's possible to create relaxation in an image.” It's the back-supporting side wings that underline the comfortable feel of the Grande Papilio chair.
