Libelle Armchair by Frigerio

Designed by Gabriele & Oscar Buratti

Libelle armchair by Frigerio is a contemporary reimagining of mid-century elegance, drawing inspiration from the classic bergère chairs of the 1950s while adding a modern, laid-back sophistication.

Designed by the Buratti brothers, this piece blends the timeless charm of sinuous curves with an inviting, relaxed form, ideal for creating spaces where comfort and conviviality take centre stage.  Its fluid, wing-like shape is inspired by the delicate curves of a dragonfly’s wings, evoking a sense of lightness and effortless grace. The molded structure enhances both the visual flow and ergonomic comfort, offering an indulgent seat that encourages relaxation in its generous proportions.

The Libelle armchair is available in a variety of rich materials, from soft, luxurious fabrics to sumptuous leathers, all carefully chosen to complement the chair’s smooth, sculptural lines.

Whether you choose the fixed version or opt for the swivel base, this armchair promises a perfect balance of style and function, making it a statement piece for any modern living space

Frigerio

Frigerio’s story is a true Italian journey, defined by passion, tenacity, and dedication to excellence.

Founded in 1938 by Federico Frigerio in Mariano Comense, Brianza, the brand has become synonymous with refined craftsmanship and elegant design for over 85 years. What began as a family-run artisan business, specialising in the fusion of modern and classic styles, evolved in the 1960s when Federico’s sons, Gianfranco and Angelo, expanded the brand into an industrial powerhouse.

Frigerio seamlessly blends exceptional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create truly unique pieces. Whilst equipped with the latest machinery capable of cutting multiple fabric layers and automating leather cuts, Frigerio consciously opts for a manual approach, carefully cutting each layer one at a time to ensure perfect alignment of patterns and motifs. The brand’s skilled artisans, using only the finest raw materials—such as premium leathers, fabrics, wood, metal, and padding are able personalise each creation, embodying the dedication to quality and precision that defines the Frigerio collection.

Frigerio’s collection, once centered on sofas and seating, has evolved into an offering that spans the entire home, designed to elevate both living and bedroom spaces. Renowned for its decorative elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, each piece is meticulously crafted from the finest materials offering unparalleled customisation to fulfill the most discerning aesthetic preferences, whether for private residences or bespoke contract projects.

Today, the Frigerio family’s passion for quality, alongside their deep-rooted connection to the region, continues to fuel the brand’s legacy of timeless elegance and innovative design.
