The uncluttered shapes, fruit of a project guided by functional design principles and by an Asian-inspired simplification of form, make it ideal for modern living rooms, for resting and conversation.

PRODUCTION YEAR

2004

A modular system featuring simple, essential volumes, Refolo was created by Charlotte Perriand in Tokyo in 1953, yet remains as current as it was then. The design prioritised functionality, leading the designer to simplify shapes, drawing her inspiration from the orient. Set at an ideal height for a variety of tasks, the horizontal plane is composed of 19 parallel strips of wood in either natural or dark stained oak, supported by two or three legs. The padded seats are integrated harmoniously using a simple anchoring device, so they can be located wherever required. Ideal for the living room or other areas where people can unwind, Refolo lends itself to a variety of configurations to enhance relaxation and conversation.

I Maestri

Charlotte Perriand full membership of that avant-garde cultural movement which, from the first decades of the twentieth century, brought about a profound change in aesthetic values and gave birth to a truly modern sensitivity towards everyday life. In this context, her specific contribution focuses on interior composition, conceived as creating a new way of living, still today at the heart of contemporary lifestyle. In the sphere of twentieth century furnishing history, the advent of modernity made possible the entrepreneurial audacity of this true reformer of interior design.
