Lounge Chair Design | Binta | Designed By Philippe Bestenheider Design Studio
Injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam over internal steel frame. Removable fabric cover
50/62/42-95 cm
Binta was inspired by Africa. Its sculptural shape evokes African wood carvings. Its soft upholstery is clothed with a patchwork of wax-fabrics, the traditional textiles worn by African women. The fabrics have been chosen in the rich catalogue of Vlisco of Holland who have produced them for over 150 years. Contrasting patterns and colours emphasise the armchair’s shape. Binta is also available in plain fabrics.
In March 2010 Binta was featured in the exhibit "Ospiti Inaspettati" at Museo Bagutta Valsecchi in Milan........more from Philippe Bestenheider Design Studio
