Tre Pezzi Armchairs by Franco Albini & Franca Helg

Red and Blue becomes Black and Green – 2016 IMM Cologne (01)
No, unfortunately I haven’t visited IMM Cologne in 2016, but I plan to do so again in 2017. Via Design Boom I found out that Patricia Urquiola had designed Cassina’s stand there (and later in Milan).

Cassina had designed a MutAzioni series for the occasion and the Black and Green Rietveld was one of that series.
