Frog Armchair

Overview

Frog is a low armchair designed by Piero Lissoni for Living Divani in 1995. Living Divani describes it as minimalist and lightweight for a summer look, with a padded version for those who want a warmer setting. It is offered for indoor and outdoor use, and sits in a family with Frog Lounge (chaise longue), Super Frog and Carbon Frog.

Construction

• Woven armchair (indoor): supporting frame in chromed steel, AISI 316 stainless steel with matte satin finish, or epoxy polyester powder coating in Gunmetal grey, burnished, RAL 9010 white or RAL 9017 black. Weaving in hide profile, PVC profile or synthetic rope in a "solid fill" pattern, in the collection finishes.
• Woven armchair (outdoor): AISI 316 stainless steel frame (matte satin or powder-coated) with PVC profile weaving.
• Padded armchair: metal frame embedded in cold-expanded polyurethane foam; seat and back with preformed polyurethane foam covered with acrylic fibres; quilted fabric or leather upholstery (fabric fully removable with zips and Velcro). The outdoor padded version uses open-cell foam with draining fabric covers and outdoor fabrics only.

A Lightweight Summer Seat

Piero Lissoni designed Frog for Living Divani in 1995 as a minimalist, lightweight armchair: a thin tubular frame that draws a low, reclined profile, filled with a woven seat and back that leaves the structure almost transparent.

One Line, Many Characters

The same silhouette has been developed into a family. A padded version adds quilted fabric or leather for warmer interiors, the indoor-outdoor versions move it onto terraces in stainless steel and PVC weaving, and Frog Lounge stretches the line into a chaise longue.
