Contemporary and baroque

Baroque and contemporary design together for the romantic Proust armchair designed by Alessandro Mendini for Magis. Proust is based on the original design of the Proust Chair, the most famous creation ever designed by Mendini in 1978. About thirty years ago, the Italian designer had reinterpreted in a chair in the French Baroque style of the eighteenth century painting  wood and upholstery, and adapting the shape and decoration in the style of the current year. Today the Proust Chair is again revised in accordance with the contemporary fashion, wood and upholstery disappear to give way to the polyethylene in bright colors. Even its target changes, in fact, a chair designed to be a work of art produced in a few pieces at the end of the 70s, now becomes a chair dedicated to everyone thanks to Magis.
