Collection Story
Origin
Pierre Guariche, a major figure in post-war French modernism, designed the Monaco range in the early 1960s. The name Monaco calls up Mediterranean modernity: understated elegance, visual lightness and refined simplicity.
Design Language
Guariche consistently strives to create furniture that is functional, elegant, technically coherent and never gratuitously decorative.
Pieces in the collection
The Monaco collection groups a one-seat armchair, a two-seat Medium settee, a three-seat Large settee and a footstool. The armchair and the Large settee share a solid walnut-stained beech base, a plywood structure and Bultex polyurethane foam cushions with polyester quilting. Both have seat suspension on elastic webbing, and a professional can remove their covers. The armchair and the Large settee are each offered in 47 materials.
