Description
A splendid lounge chair, the personification of redesign.
Proust is one of the most famous and important reference points of design.
Originally, the Proust Armchair was designed for the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara and immediately became the design icon of the XXth century.
Initially, he covered the chair completely with a colorful, hand painted swarm of dots which reproduced an enlarged section of a Pointillist painting by Paul Signac.
The armchair travelled through world museums, being displayed in different versions, some of which were limited; all of them customized and inspected under Mendini's supervision, and from time to time signed by the author.
In 2011 Magis released a rotational-moulded polyethylene version, to be used indoors as well as outdoors. Proust is now a modernism icon, without withdrawing the romantic essence of the original creation.
Having a Proust is synonym of having a piece of history, a piece of design, for ever!
Proust is available in other colours.
