Helix
Front
The Helix pouf, with a base in solid wood and squared shape, is the result of the technical mastery of the Frigerio craftsmen who cut and manipulated the leather to give it the shape and the appearance of a sheet of paper, which folds and fits together like an origami. The structure of the pouf Helix is covered in leather with a decorative stitching and matched with a beige or red cloth. The contemporary taste of the Swedish duo Front meets for the first time the production skills of Frigerio, giving life to a proposal built on a delicate balance of volumes thanks to the tailoring manufacturing.

Frigerio presents the Flow Collection in an artistic context designed in 1981 by Oscar Niemeyer: the former headquarters of Cartiere Burgo, in province of Turin, highly recognizable over time for its innovative style and futuristic aesthetics. In this unique setting Frigerio has presented the Flow Collection, a narrative progression of different styles and different proposals designed by famous architects with the leitmotif of the Frigerio production: Ferruccio Laviani, Federica Biasi, Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, Front and Riccardo Frigerio. In the ring-shaped floor plan of Cartiere Burgo by Oscar Niemeyer, between real and illusory spaces, the designers Ferruccio Laviani, Federica Biasi, Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, Front and Riccardo Frigerio presented the new Flow Collection for Frigerio for a contemporary living under the sign of colour and lightness. The Swedish duo Front worked with material to transcend its form by designing the iconic armchair Mayu and the Helix pouf, result of the technical mastery of Frigerio tailoring capability.

As for the style, also the colour is a representation of a trip in space and time. The light tones are ideal to create wider and brighter environments, for a timeless style. The harmony of the elements creates an atmosphere highly refined and expresses lightness also in the contrast with different materials. Fabric, leather, hide, wood and marble, all in their different shades and intensity of colours play in a game of a mutual switch off and on, by enhancing and matching to each other with sensational material’s contrasts. The different chromatic combinations highlight the personal taste reflected into a contemporary time, always more and more eclectic, contaminated and in the search of a bespoken elegance. The moodboard Light Harmony provides solution in natural shades from beige to turtle colour or proposes solutions with a touch of green, which recalls the energy of the nature for a relaxing and vital environment. Chromatic tonalities which match traditional solutions such as neutral colours like white and grey and the many shades of wood.
