Cortina 861

An homage to traditional Alpine heritage, reimagined with a contemporary twist. For the Cortina Collection, Fabrizio Gallinaro started from the idea of combining the base of a classic Alpine chair with the curved shell typical of modern Scandi-inspired armchairs. The result of this experimentation is a collection with a Nordic aesthetic and curved lines, whose name celebrates the Queen of the Dolomites, an iconic location in the Italian mountains at the crossroads between myth and legend, nature and culture, tradition and glamour. The chair features a curved, enveloping backrest, while the armchair features a wooden armrest fixed to the seat, onto which the fabric backrest is mounted. A construction detail with a handcrafted feel that reflects Billiani’s woodworking expertise.
