About the Item

Yiban Yiban ottoman designed by Claudio Colucci Dimensions: D 90 x W 62 x H 82 cm Materials: Structure in solid timber and plywood, Memory foam Base, and seating fully upholstered in fabric Available in finishes: Planum & Mosaic 2 Collection from Kvadrat Other fabric selection and COM option available. Claudio Colucci’s re-edited armchair, originally from his time with the Radi designers, gives the Tempo. Named after the Italian word Dondolo, this upholstered rocking chair has a wooden frame covered with foam and pastel-colored fabric. With a bit of humor and a certain audacity, Dondolo sweeps aside the stereotypes of its kind. Under the features of a contemporary drawing, it strips the images of the past to reveal only its function: a fluid and purified silhouette dressed up with pastel colors. Claudio Colucci. Born in Locarno to an Austrian mother and an Italian father, he has made mixing and movement a characteristic of his work. As soon as he graduated in Graphic Design from the School of Decorative Arts in Geneva, he went to Paris where he studied Industrial Design at ENSCI-Les Ateliers; He then completed his training with an exchange to Kingston Polytechnic. Cofounder of Radi Designers which he leaves in 2000, it is with the Japanese editor IDEE that he marks the turning point of his career: he installs his first office in Tokyo in 1998 and then opened agencies in Geneva, Paris, Hong-Kong, and Beijing. Since 2012, he works closely with his son Fabio. Claudio’s work is articulated around 3 main axes: furniture, interior architecture, and scenography. His creations - simple and playful - bring a glance at new ways of life, integrating its research on materials, technologies, and their industrialization. He wants to surprise, destabilize and open new modes of perception and apprehension of our environment. Permanently searching, he was one of the first to rediscover Corian® and used its formal and translucent properties in his Squeeze lamps, “Label du VIA” in 2000. The guiding principle of Claudio Colucci’s spaces is resolutely based on round, smooth and colored shapes, with a mixture of mischievousness and sensuality. It is perfectly illustrated in Délicabar in Le Bon Marché, the Moph café, the Frédéric Scailteur flagship store (maître chocolatier/patissier in Tokyo), the Maverteam shops (Italian watches) and the new “World architectural concept” for Agnès B. shops. Claudio Colucci enjoys fluid and dynamic lines that he folds and bent to his needs, as in the chain of restaurants Roll Madu in Osaka or in the French Institute in Tokyo. He has just been named ambassador for the Foundation Michelangelo celebrates craftsmanship and reinforces its relationship to the design industry. Many of his creations are now at the Pompidou Center, Cartier Foundation in Paris, Moma in NYC, and prestigious galleries. Two of his monographs have been published by the Norma publishing for the Cartier Foundation. He is very committed to education by teaching at HEAD and l’IPAC Design among other schools. In 2018, he changed his studio name to let his son Fabio Colucci become a partner and becomes: Colucci & Colucci Design & Architecture.
