Information
Soft shapes and proportions, almost reminiscent of a woman's figure, mark the design of Cloche, the capsule collection designed by Gordon Guillaumier that comprises an armchair, a lounge and a pouf intended for the contract, hospitality, and residential sectors.
The harmony of the shapes stems from elegant design, never overdone, in line with the belief that sustainability means creating unique furniture items that feature timeless beauty and the quality of the great classics.
Enveloping and sinuous curves define the comfort provided by Cloche, creating an unmistakable elliptical composition with a fluid and welcoming shape. Such shape is defined by an opening at the center that almost becomes a graphic trait: whilst only hinted at in the armchair, it looks more prominent in the lounge chair version.
There are three proposals for the base, which amplifies the versatility of the collection: a classic version with wooden legs featuring a conical section
a metal version, with tubular elements that intersect, providing lightness and solidity
and finally, a central five-spoke wooden base - which adds to the lounge the swivel option - that displays a strong character. To Gordon Guillaumier and Piaval, the latter solution represents a brilliantly overcome technical challenge. The elegance and materials of Cloche are enhanced by soft textile upholstery, available in a carefully devised range of shades that give it personality and character.
