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. 

What do you think of this original piece furniture with a rich history of design? 

See you soon my dear design lovers!

Where should I leave my umbrella?

Hi dear design lovers! Here in North Italy near Turin is snowing and while the town becames white, I'm writing this post. So I decide to write a post related to the weather and I choose to show you this beautiful and strange umbrella stand, Poppins by the designers Edwuard Barber and Jay Osgerby for Magis. It brings us to childhood because of its name, identic to the most famous and beloved nanny time and its shape similar to a bricks of buildings we used to play with when we were children. Poppins is made in glossy ABS and so it is suitable indoor and outdoor. It is available in four colours: white, black, green and orange.

So if it's snowing or raining also by you, what do you think to leave your wet umbrella to Poppins and it looks after it?
