Fromme and Fromme Soft by Tom Chung for Petite Friture
When checking my post about the Algon Chair at Arflex I noted Lucca Nichetto also works with several other manufaturers and Petite Friture catched my eye as a strange sort of name for a furniture brand, but it is a furniture brand already for 10 years.
About the Fromme Chair:
This design was inspired by the personal story of Tom Chung. An experienced cyclist, he used to climb Fromme Mountain outside of Vancouver and was fascinated by the technical performance of his bike. He sought to rediscover the efficiency that the latter brought him to reinvent the most common object and yet the greatest challenge for a designer: a design chair.

Installation “In Place” by Anna Maria Maiolino (with Chair)
I had shared earlier work by Anna Maria Tumblrd aand found this on her site
In Atto is rendered by two women: the young performer, Sandra Lessa, and the elder, Anna Maria Maiolino. The artist’s participation in this work exudes metaphoric and symbolic aspects, as a support for bringing the youngster back to life.
The work shows life-affirming aspects of rituals related to pain, repression and death. Sandra, the young performer, composes a language of voiced sounds associated to the dramatization of her body. The soundscape works with a language of its own, with an extra-grammatical sense, and without losing the feeling of the dimensions of the creative act in the making. The corporal dramatization in IN ATTO, compared to a shamanic rite with its shouts and movements, stirs the self-restoration of life over death. The body, initially inert and wrapped in bandages, as the performance unfolds feeds on itself, is regenerated and returns to life.
