Derived from a recycled aluminum frame with a trademark Y-shaped base, Phoenix represents an upcycle approach, with its upholstered parts that can be easily removed, reused and replaced when needed, or when the client wants to change colors or materials. This perpetual life cycle inspired the chair’s name: in antique mythology Phoenix was the bird that kept on rising from its own ashes. “The original idea comes from the Y-shape in the rope or chain in a children’s swing. Without the legs, the chair is actually like a swing”, explains Nichetto.
