We were invited to draw inspiration from Natuzzi’s belief in harmonious living and the natural and traditional elements found in the brand’s native region of Apulia: sun, olive trees and leaves; hand-crafted lace; classical architectural motifs. Another reference point was the ingenious design of the chair itself, which reclines without a lever mechanism by responding to the weight of the body.
Our serendipitous black and white pattern, hand marbled onto hand cut leather tiles, celebrated the elegant ergonomics of the ‘Re-vive’ chair and the power of design to induce relaxation, a sense of well-being and a re-energising state of flow. Bringing the collaboration to life, we hosted an immersive marbling workshop inviting participants to experiment with the hands-on craft we used to create the chair, playfully exploring the connections between considered design, creativity and positive living.
