Description
With Papilio, designer Naoto Fukasawa wanted to create an armchair that "welcomes" with grace, drawing inspiration from the image of the butterfly, "papilio" in Latin. The shape of Piccola Papilio, fluidly cut into an inverted cone shape, enhances the fullness and generosity of the upper part of the backrest, the welcoming, sinuous shape of the seat and the concern to offer the utmost comfort to whoever sits down. Published by B&B Italia, the Piccola 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 side wings that support and underline the comfortable feel of the Piccola Papilio armchair.
