| Juliet - how it was born | ||||

| Tags: Juliet armchair, Poltrona Frau, Benjamin Hubert | ||||
Poltrona Frau invited 12 of the greatest designers around the world to design a centenary armchair, projecting it into the future. ![]() A sketch of the Juliet armchair, designed by Benjamin Hubert. ![]() This inspiration was used to communicate the properties of leather upholstery. The outside of the chair utilises the flexibility and tensile strength of leather to describe a fluted traditional timber frame work where the shape of the timber can clearly be seen through the tight leather covering. The competitors had to utilize the traditional upholstery techniques under the theme “a chair to spend time in.” Hubert’s Juliet chair was inspired by the Italian Renaissance fashion detail the “Juliet sleeve,” a sleeve which tightly fits the arm and has a large deconstructed “puff” on the shoulder. This tailoring translated well to the leather upholstery on a timber frame, being somehow both loose and tight at the same time. The competition's nine judges: Livia Peraldo Matton - editor in chief of Elle Decor Italy Giulio Cappellini - creative director of Cappellini François-Henry Pinault - chairman of PPR group Jean Nouvel - architect Vanessa Friedman - financial times, fashion editor Anne-Sophie Von Clear - lifestyle le figaro, deputy director Walter De Silva - head designer of the Audi brand group Ratan Naval Tata - chairman of Tata group Thomas Maier - Bottega Veneta ![]() ![]() The final result of Juliet. Benjamin's masterpiece was the chosen winner, and it is the chair to mark Poltrona Frau's 100th year anniversary. |

Founded by Vittorio Livi in 1973, Fiam develops and produces items of furniture in curved glass, creating them through a combination of craftsmanship and industrial processes, merging hand-craft and design. ![]() Glass is environment-friendly and hygienic: it may look simple, because of its transparency, but both its chemistry and its physics are really very complex. And this material of vast potential was virtually only used in the world of furniture for the production of small accessories or ornaments. ![]() ![]() A famous piece from Fiam - The Ghost chair designed by cini boeri. The ghost chair is a classic design in numerous museums, including the corning museum of glass and the Louvre. Made from a massive piece of 1/2" thick glass, the chair is molded and can support 330 pounds.

Multitask with the Zanotta Party Sofa designed by Gabriele Rosa. Work on it, sleep on it, or relax in it - a new concept for a cosmopolitan lifestyle. ![]() Party sofa is a contemporary living product, for a public that often lives, reads, and works on the sofa with informal, fluid hours and rhythms. Free time overlaps work time and study time, creating new needs at a furnishing level. Party is the result of observation of these new trends and behaviors, which the designer has translated into a modular sofa that foresees many variations thanks to the diagonal cut of the seating that allows asymmetric arrangement. ![]() A comment by the designer provides a formal and cultural representation of the project, "Many people nowadays seem to be living more than one life at a time. They have the capacity to change rapidly while remaining themselves. In the arc of a day they quite naturally pass from one situation, moment or context to another completely different one. These versatile, changeable and eclectic people have new attitudes and ways of being, that follow new ways of living. The sofa embodies the hub of domestic life; it becomes the place where multiple activities happen, each one with its own specific modes; a stage that is animated by many different characters. Party translates this change, not only adapting to contemporary living, but effectively recounting something about our present as well." |

Dazzle your home with jewels. The Baker Blossom mirror by Thomas Pheasant contains 18 blossoms of crystals, perfect for making your home sparkle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Loosely inspired by a kimono with cherry blossoms rendered in an Art Deco manner, Thomas Pheasant views the Blossom Mirror as one of those rare but riveting objects that finish a room. The mirror has a textured banding immediately around it. A much larger and more dramatic, but still somewhat organic, Bronze frame requires more than 100 welds to secure a sculpture consisting of five-sided flowers. A total of 18 crystal blossoms, in two sizes, are then positioned for dimensional effect. The resulting play of shadow, light, and prismatic rainbow rustles against the wall. The mirror is convex, and the surrounding rim has an organic texture. While the Blossom Mirror would be a focal point anywhere, the first impression created in an entry would define not just a room but an entire home. This is a very large & intricate jewelry. |

Live glamorously! A tip from Barbara Barry - Glamour is not about money, it's more a quality of character in the setting but having elegant furnishings can certainly set the stage. I love how California was and still is the backdrop for a casually elegant lifestyle: palm trees and swimming pools, cocktails and pearls. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
