GTV launches the new 2021 collection: BEAULIEU
The new projects by Gebrüder Thonet Vienna: design that combines tradition and innovation
At the forefront of the scene, there is once again a partnership with Philippe Nigro, who has designed the new BEAULIEU chair in bent beechwood, where the curves, assembled like a construction kit, meet to create the back and armrests, making it possible to obtain two types of seat with just a few changes: a chair and a comfortable armchair. For Philippe Nigro, designing a new chair for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna also involves exploring poetic imagery: one that is attributable to the company’s ability, for almost 150 years, to transcend time periods with incredible nonchalance. In this project, Philippe Nigro draws on the “living lightheartedly” and sophistication typical of a symbolic place of this period such as Beaulieu, on the Côte d’Azur, from which the chair takes its name.
