About the Item
Pair of Simple Bridge armchairs in skai by Jean Nouvel, 1991
When it comes to design, what we might expect from sculptors is actually more likely to come from architects. For what most often characterizes architectural design is its formal, sculptural force. Jean Nouvel is no exception. The Simple Bridge set in the Élémentaire collection was originally designed for the Centre International de Congrès Vinci in Tours in the early 90s. It was subsequently published twice by Ligne Roset, in the early 90s and again in 2011. Formally rigorous, Simple Bridge is nonetheless extremely comfortable.
The apparent simplicity of the Simple Bridge conceals the prowess required for its execution: cutting, sewing and upholstery tolerate no approximation so that the rigorous edges of the seat remain perfectly straight.
Jean Nouvel est un architecte français né à Fumel en 1945 dont le travail est avant-gardiste et reflète toujours l'esprit du temps. Architecte du concept et du contexte, de la dématérialisation et de l'image, il défend l'importance sociale et culturelle de l'architecture en tant que forme d'art capable de franchir les frontières, de s'enrichir et d'enrichir les autres disciplines en cours de route. Ces valeurs sont à la base de sa collaboration avec Danese Milano.
