Proust Armchair Cappellini

The Proust armchair, by Cappellini, channels the neo-baroque aesthetics of 18th-century France. With Proust, Mendini initiated a series of furniture "redesigns," reinterpreting the shapes and ornamentation typical of the time. Featuring a vibrant tapestry of hand-painted colored dots, Proust is inspired by Paul Signac's pointillist painting.
