Fabio Novembre - Driade - Armchair - Nemo

The Nemo armchair is fixed A face to occupy... This sensational armchair/sculpture breaks the dividing line between contemporary art and design. Nemo can be displayed as a work of art in the living room or in the garden, creating a dreamlike and fantastic universe. The back of this armchair has the shape of a human face with disconcerting realism. The inside of the seat lets you appreciate the line of the facial muscles. This asexual face with classic features is sculpted as a universal model. Devoid of passion, devoid of expression and devoid of memory, this face seems to be suspended out of time. The theatricality of this large mask allows you to hide, to protect yourself, to seclude yourself in a secret place. The eyes allow you to see without being seen... When you rest your head on the hollow of this human face you have to open your eyes wide, let yourself be carried away, not ask yourself about the feeling of strangeness... The Nemo armchair fully embodies the work of Fabio Novembre, one of the most transgressive designers of the last decade. By favouring anthropomorphic forms, for Fabio Novembre design becomes a true means of expression freed from the functionality of forms. His creations are part of a figurative current that opposes abstract design. Designer: Fabio Novembre Colour: white. Material: Polyethylene Dimensions: width 90 cm x depth 83 cm x height 135 cm - Seat height: 41 cm Features: for indoors and outdoors Made in Italy Weight: 30 kg Packaged with its original box.
