Chair Dialogue by Frans Willigers

Chair Dialogue by Frans Willigers

 

After working in architectural offices, Frans Willigers decided to dedicate himself to his great passion, designing furniture. In recent years, the search for the essence of designs has led to the creation of abstract objects. These objects deal with elementary matters of spatial design such as gravity, balance, emptiness, mass, shadow, dark and light.

Dialoge forms part of the over 650 chairs collection of Thierry Barbier-Mueller. This collection will be shown in the Rotterdam Kunsthal from september 26, 2026 – January 2027. Looking forward to it.

Frans via my Contact page in Dutch:

Dag Guido, Per toeval ontdekte ik dat ik als ontwerper vermeld stond op de stoelen startpagina. Via deze pagina kwam ik terecht op de chair blog. Wat een mooi initiatief! Ik zag dat het al een tijdje bestond maar er nog steeds publicaties zijn. Graag wil ik je attenderen op stoelen die ik ontworpen heb. Die kun je zien door op bovenstaande link te klikken. Uiteraard ben ik zeer geïnteresseerd in jouw mening als stoelenliefhebber. Vriendelijke groeten, Frans Willigers.

P4 Catalina Chair by Luigi Caccia Dominioni

P4 Catalina Chair by Luigi Caccia Dominioni

I took this photo September 24, 2011 in the Milan Triennale Design Museum

In 1957 the Catalina Chair, brought into the spotlight on the stage of the 11th Milan Tiennale, masterfully attested to the foundations of the design orientation of the figure known as “Caccia”, who was as reserved as he was intellectually appreciated for the way he went about his profession. The structure in cast iron, hot lacquered in Renault gray – the same gray as the first metallic cars – consists in three thin metal rods joined at the top by a ribbon made of the same material. The idea was to model an iron bar in a ribbon that after a few short centimeters would curve into a comfortable armrest. The oval seat in black polyester-lacquered wood in the original version of the chair is fitted with an expanded polyurethane cushion upholstered in Azucena leather or velvet fastened by the three upright rods.
