Rodolfo Dordoni 2016
The status and singularity of the Freeman “Tailor” project are perpetuated in its Freeman “Lounge” extension. The reduced depth of the seats gives Freeman “Lounge” the flexibility to fit easily in residential settings of limited scale as well as in hospitality environments, like waiting rooms, reception areas and corporate offices.
One-piece seats, distinguished by decorative stitching that defines a uniform, graphic motif, can be grouped together to form dynamic compositions.
The “Wing” armrest displays light lines thanks to the polyurethane foam coated metal structure.
The sophisticated tailoring of the upholstery reveals the company’s expertise in executing extremely complex fine-tailoring techniques. The various pieces in leather or fabric are assembled using a strip of bronze color eco-leather and double-stitched seams that lend a distinct sense of depth.
