VIVIENNE

GamFratesi design

The Vivienne seating system is inspired by the semicircular curved backrest of the Vivienne armchair, featuring a contemporary aesthetic designed by Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi. The embrace of the backrest that wraps around the seat also acts as an armrest, giving it a particularly decorative flair.

The project features a finely contoured upholstered base, supported by recessed aluminium bars, which hosts and partially conceals the thickness of the cushions.  As a result, the seat appears thinner — a detail that gives the upholstery a more delicate look, making it feel light while remaining incredibly comfortable.

The designers describe this seating system as “a piece that plays with the harmony of shapes. Its soft and generous curves, typical of the Vivienne Large armchair, evolve into a sofa system with new proportions. A perfect balance between sinuosity and geometric rigour, between the decorative and the essential, making it suitable for any modern space while maintaining an iconic and organic character.”

Vivienne is a system that offers great compositional versatility, and, in addition to sofas, end pieces and chaise lounges, it also includes elements with tops, thus giving rise to original combinations and creating a cohesive style for spaces of different sizes.
