The Molteni &C Phoenix armchair by Vincent Van Duysen has a minimal and contemporary style and is the result of a careful study of ergonomics to create a supremely comfortable garden chair.
The seat, back and sled base are made from a burnished aluminium band which is in one continuous stroke so that when seen from the side it appears slender and light, giving a sense of dynamism. For added elegance the seat back and armrests feature a beautiful woven pattern in handmade polypropylene rope in a style reminiscent of the Mediterranean tradition of baskets and panniers. The rope can be selected in anthracite, olive green or desert yellow.
Comfortable cushions can be covered in several categories of fabric including the Musco collection developed in collaboration with Limonta Spa and selected by Marta Ferri. Musco offers seven different monochrome or striped jacquard and bouclé yarns inspired by shades of nature which can be combined to match or contrast each other. You can also provide your own fabric subject to approval by Molteni.
Each armchair comes with a seat cushion as standard, however for correct ergonomics Molteni also suggest that you add one back cushion to this armchair - see drop down menu.
The Phoenix range which also includes a chair similar to this one but without arms, as well as sofas and coffee tables is part of the wider Molteni & C Timeout collection in which metal is the predominant material used but softened by the use of intertwined ropes for the backrests weaving a story where "timeout" becomes a well-deserved reconciliation break with outdoor spaces.
Garden furniture is an exciting addition to prestigious Italian modern furniture brand Molteni&C’s extensive collection and is only possible after years of research into suitable materials: a knowledge gained in the almost ninety years of the life of the company which was founded in 1934.
