Phileas armchair is designed by Philippe Nigro for Ligne Roset with structure in mechanically-soldered steel and panels of particleboard, clad in polyester quilting. Base in Epoxy satin black or satin bronze lacquered steel. Optional solid walnut base with tubular steel core for reinforcement.
Suspension on seat via elastic webbing. Integral seat cushion in high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam; back in Bultex foam. Upholstery in fabric or leather.
Phileas seating both challenges and surprises: he has managed the impressive feat of achieving cutting edge modernity, imbuing his creation with real personality and a strong visual identity close to the ‘never-beforeseen’, whilst at the same time awakening a cluster of nostalgic reminiscences which anchor it in reassuring historical continuity, like a real multifaceted Proust madeleine.
This vertical quilting also recalls the upholstery of 1950s automobile seats, banquettes from the mythical Orient Express, the hushed surroundings of English gentlemen’s clubs, the novels of Agatha Christie and Jules Verne, the balloons of the Montgolfier brothers...inviting one on a real motionless journey through time.
