Fabio Novembre / Driade

Two jumbo outdoor chairs - two radiantly coloured thrones – greet visitors to the via Manzoni showroom.

This year, again, Fabio Novembre has opted for jumbo sizes for his 36h and 56h chairs, featuring plastic woven onto an aluminium structure by Southeast Asian craftspeople in a process that takes 36 and 56 hours respectively.
The name chosen stresses just how much work goes into the making of a quality piece and, although aesthetics play their part by adding interest to the two chairs, the size actually reflects the fact that people are getting bigger.
These two rocking-chair thrones with fan backs are also a nod to the oneiric vein of the designer, who drew on some childhood memories, as indeed he did with the lamp above the two chairs, a lighting revamp of the "cage for fireflies", the ones that Fabio used to try and catch in a glass jar on summer evenings.
