Description
A plastic design with a contemporary allure characterises Vivienne.With its enveloping shapes, this family of seats – featuring large and lounge armchairs, a bergère, two dining little armchairs and ottomans – originates from the hemicycle curve of the backrest which, in an interplay of volumes and overlaps, creates an aesthetic that is both sculptural and welcoming. The armchairs, with their refined proportions, are all available with a fixed or swivel base, the latter with a cylindrical form that lends a sophisticated decorative appeal. An upholstered furnishing piece that fits effortlessly into any environment, creating cosy conversation areas in both residential and Hospitality contexts.
Structure: Metal coated in fire-resistant polyurethane foam and encased in breathable heat-bonded fibre laminated to white hypoallergenic cotton fabric to lend extra softness.
Covers: Upholstery is completely removable in both fabric and leather versions.
Wood base: The Bergère base is available in solid ash with open-pore Licorice lacquer or solid Canaletto walnut in Light Brown with matt polyester lacquer. The kiln-dried legs are CNC-machined and assembled with dowel joinery and glue, then attached to an anti-fingerprint polished Black Coffee metal frame. The base features a 360° swivel mechanism with return, while the dining little armchair is also available in a fixed version. Black protective felt and/or polyethylene glides complete the base.

Designer
GamFratesi
Minotti and GamFratesi began collaborating in 2018. The design of GamFratesi, architecture firm established in 2006 in Copenhagen by Italian-Danish duo Enrico Fratesi and Stine Gam, is rooted in the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology, rigour and poetry. With their different cultural backgrounds, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi model their creative intuitions into designs that draw from both the classic decor and artisan tradition of Denmark and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.
A tried and tested melting pot of styles, expressed in furniture, objects, and installations with a silent elegance, in the production techniques used and in the meticulous attention to detail applied to the creations. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of Scandinavian minimalism, with many subtle, yet striking Nordic hints.
