The Vitra saga

Nice - The most distinguished designers have placed their inspiration at its service. Vitra - which focuses on children with the same creativity, practicality and concern for good looks as it does for adults - furnishes all the rooms of the house. For the lounge, take a look at “Ravioli”, an armchair signed Greg Lynn. Using a computer simulation, the designer turned a basic square surface into 3D, transforming it into a spatial figure with a surface for support, a concave seat, arm-rests and back. “Ravioli” is in fact a modern-day interpretation of the classic padded armchair. Designed by Maarten Van Severen, “Kast” will be happy just about anywhere. Used for storage, it is looked upon as the quintessence of its creator’s genius, with a modular structure and a basic version presented in the guise of a console. Van Severen has added wood cases and an additional base module. The colours used give the ensemble freshness and optimism. On sale from J.Bonet, 25 rue Scaliéro (04 92 00 36 66).
