Visiera 2017 — Nilufar Sofa in precious velvet with brushed and zapon‐varnished brass
The Visiera upholstered furniture project, created exclusively for Nilufar, represents an aesthetic investigation of the small architectures of hats, seen not only as ornament and accessory, but also as functional objects.
This study is applied as a design matrix for upholstered furniture that represents a fusion of these values. The back is the forceful graphic sign, in this case, like a rigid visor that
embraces the crown and is fastened to it through an innovative solution of hidden
attachment.
The brass perimeter closes the profile of the brim, compressing it like an ideal ribbon whose ends feature oversized studs. The sofa is completed by padding for the lower back that ideally doubles the movement of the rear visor.
