CIGNO - Кресло из ткани

Cigno is an armchair upholstered in leather or fabric with a structure in multilayer wood and solid fir.‎ The seat and backrest are shaped to evoke the silhouette of a swan, defining a fluid and enveloping profile.‎ Padded in polyurethane and acrylic fiber, it rests on a tubular steel base available in the catalog metal finish selection.‎ Visionnaire reactivates its historical archive, reintroducing into the collection two iconic 1970s armchairs by its parent company IPE, displayed in the Wunderkammer inside the showroom in Piazza Cavour.‎ Under the sign of Déjà-vu, the project reawakens a historical lexicon, reaffirming its contemporary relevance and continuity of identity.‎ Bachi and Cigno — reissued through a technical update that is almost invisible yet substantial — reveal themselves as forms already contemporary.‎ Their proportions, enveloping lines and immersive concept of comfort express a sensibility capable of transcending time.‎ With Déjà-vu, the archive becomes a tool for research and design, able to nourish the present through an active memory.‎ The Cigno armchair, designed by Vittorio Varo in the late 1960s, represents one of the most refined expressions of the experimental phase of Italian design during that period.‎ Defined by a fluid, enveloping silhouette, the seat unfolds as a single continuous volume, with no visual interruption between backrest and upholstered base.‎ Its ascending, harmonious curvilinear profile subtly recalls the elegance of a swan, translating into form the plastic tension characteristic of organic modernism.‎ The lower structure in chromed tubular metal creates a sharp and sophisticated contrast with the soft body of the armchair.‎ This dialogue between mass and lightness, craftsmanship and industry, is emblematic of late 1960s Italian design — a period marked by the introduction of polyurethane foam and a new expressive freedom in upholstered forms.‎ Conceived as a lounge chair, Cigno moves beyond pure functionality to assume a sculptural and identity-defining role.‎ It is a piece that shapes space with authority, capable of integrating seamlessly into a variety of settings.‎ More than fifty years later, Cigno retains its formal strength, standing as a significant testament to the excellence of Italian design in the second half of the twentieth century.‎ 1960 design by Vittorio Varo / Re-edition 2026 design by La Conca.‎ Further info from manufacturer on CIGNO Visionnaire
