CMP Design Conceives Panarea Armchair for Pedrali

Imagine, if you will, dinner alfresco on an ocean-facing terrace. That was the idyllic setting CMP Design envisioned when conceiving Panarea, an armchair for Pedrali with a cosseting backrest handwoven into an open triangle pattern. “A woven object always inspires a certain reverence for manual work,” CMP partner Antonio Pagliarulo says. “Panarea wants to be a continuation, in a modern way, of one of the oldest construction techniques.” Outdoor-ready polypropylene cord wraps most of the tubular steel frame, which can be powder-coated Terra-cotta, Sand, Blue, or Gray. Match or contrast the seat cushion and throw pillow, upholstered in fabric made from the same polypropylene.
