Swing Chair
Hanging Chair
2012
The Swing Chair comes from Antonio Aricò’s research into characters and personalities that are generally hidden in products. The Swing Chair brings a romantic situation – an outdoor feeling of rocking and swinging – indoors. Being inside, the Swing Chair becomes a domestic ‘puppet’. More than a flying chair, it’s an invitation to dream and play. Like Gepetto did for Pinocchio, Antonio gave life to his idea and concept with the use of ropes or ‘strings’. The arms of the graceful Swing Chair are strong and literally adopt the position of a real human with presence and character.
