About the Item
Licitra chair by Pietro Franceschini
Dimensions: W 62 x D 71 x H 95 cm
Materials: Mohair Velvet
Somebody once said that simplicity is the essence of happiness. So I dedicated this work to my friend Caterina Licitra.
Licitra chair challenges the ability to simplify, eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary can speak. The hardedged and bold silhouette speaks a clean language made of a few primitive volumes that firmly fit together. The soft and bright texture of the yellow Pierre Frey Mohair brings a contrast. The blend is sculptural and playful making Licitra a love-at-first-sight.
The piece is locally manufactured in Milan and two versions in different fabrics will follow. The perfect location for the launch is the iconic Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille for the Héritages exhibition by Galerie Philia.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
