FLOYD By JOB’S
Upholstered fabric chair with armrests
2018
Omar De Biaggio
Mid-century style with a great personality which hides the secret of a reclining backrest to ensure the ideal position.
"She was almost clouded by a crowded colored booth in a second hand market, discovered only by chance. She was spreading hidden talents, even if her overall look seemed to be like an experiment. As it was, she was predestined to dust, abandoned to herself, among old books, radios and a couple of middle ‘60s rounded orange lamps."
The designer Omar Dr Biaggio recognized her soul and her need to be rescued, and he decided that she deserved a better life and, furthermore, a restyling. Her leading role was indisputable, of course. After months of work and few firm denials of amendments, the Floyd chair can show her real nature. The seat is wide and deep; the reclining backrest adapts to the person’s measurements, accompanying him in his movements and always giving the ideal position. The line of the armrest descends harmoniously and gently supports the hands with a wide, smooth and soft base. Everything is linked by the use of the conical frame: a tribute to the mid-century style that makes Floyd the star of the room. The back of the backrest can be in wood, like the armrests, or completely upholstered.
