Nemo chair that has been designed by the Italian architect Fabio Novembre and is currently being showcased at the Driade store as part of milan design week 2010.Really love the concept…but pic with masked model is sooooo utterly redundant and unnecessary! Just wonder, this means I have to be totally naked to use these things!
Description from Driade:
Fabio Novembre uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure (or parts of it). This human figure is capable of becoming abstract and universal, able to propose a mythicized beauty as occurred in Greek art where heroes (assuredly “dark and hairy”) took on proportionate and divine features in sculptures.
In 2008, Fabio Novembre brought a mysterious reclined lady to life on the Divina lounger, and so with this new piece it is with all the more reason that Fabio seems to state the possibility of “anthropomorphic design”. In fact, in NEMO a face with classic features is hollowed out to create an inhabitable space. The result is a head-armchair to be lived from the inside.
