The Colette design armchair is part of a universe of objects imagined in collaboration with the designer Cristina Celestino.
Born from the desire to evoke the indoor-outdoor relationship dear to Henri Matisse, this armchair has been designed as a piece of furniture with a strong character.
The mix of the rattan structure and the plain and organic patterned fabrics of the seat cushions, brings a casual style to this piece, while giving it an elegant look.
The final look of the Colette design chair allows it to dress up a wide variety of interiors, both classic and contemporary.
The Colette design chair is available in several color combinations, plain or patterned.

Arts and materials
The Colette armchair's structure is handmade in rattan by one of the craft's most renowned specialists, based in Italy, who is now one of the last remaining artisans in Europe.The fabrics covering the seat cushions have been created using natural fibers on traditional jacquard looms. The cushions are removable for easy cleaning. The rattan structure has been handcrafted by folding the canes using a traditional steaming method





Inspiration
The Colette armchair echoes the textured composition and decorative elements found on Henri Matisse's Intérieur aux Aubergines piece from 1911, which inspired Italian designer Cristina Celestino to create this collection. The fabric reflects the arabesque motifs found on the work, as well of the pears posed next to the eggplants in the still life. The rattan structure represents the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, a theme explored by the painter through the window and superimposed layers.
