Calice Armchair by Patrick Norguet

About the Item

Calice armchair four-star base by Patrick Norguet. Materials: upholstery: fabric also available in leather. Structure: black powder-coated metal or matte champagne and black chrome. Dimensions: W 72.8 x D 70.7 x H 71.6 cm. HS 43.7 cm The Calice armchair owes its name and shape to the ancient sacred cups revered as objects of desire and the subject of many tales of knighthood. The result of designer Patrick Norguet’s high-minded work on simplicity, this armchair is a pure expression of Geometry: a sphere resting on a single leg, like a chalice, both sacred and precious. Made elegant and comfortable by the interlocking effect and the many details incorporated at the juncture between the seat and the leg, this design makes for an elegant addition to any room and a celebration of all types of settings, from private residences to hotel interiors. Base available with a cross-shaped structure or with four legs, in black metal or champagne color. Patrick Norguet approaches objects and design from a graphical perspective. Since childhood, he has preferred sketchbooks to textbooks, filling them up with sketches and drawings. A “handson” approach of industry and design studies in Paris (ESDI) mark the unusual profile of this constructive rebel. His career underwent a dramatic change in 2000 when Giulio Cappellini spotted his now famous Rainbow Chair. He joined the circle of designers that matter and created his Parisian studio. Since that time, he has been designing for major producers and renowned brands. Drawing inspiration from everything that surrounds him, Patrick Norguet does not follow trends but seeks to give shape to products whose relevance and modernity would withstand the test of time.
