Frame Sofa
Stefano Giovannoni designs Frame for GHIDINI1961, a new collection composed of sofas, armchairs, dining and coffee tables, bookshelves and cabinets.
Everything starts from a simple element: "the joint", which, combined with elegant rounded 45 degrees extrusions, creates an almost infinite family.
The collection is characterized by organic junctions that – in their possible combinations – create minimal, compact and powerful structures.
Frame is built starting from few elements that are able to create a large family with essential lines.
Small tables and storage units are played with different materials, such as glass, wood and marble, while the sofa has a leather structure and fabric cushions.

Clunis
Safire
Safire’s coarse surface structure gives a subtle handwoven appearance that is both unique and dynamic, adding a special and unique dimension to this upholstery fabric. The thick boucle and chenille yarns contribute to its wooly handle and soft appeal but also gives a vibrant two-tone effect. Sourced from Kvadrat (https://www.kvadrat.dk/)
Sinequanon
Panama weave with slightly shot yarns. A special, careful blend of linen and viscose and a new construction which enables a reduction of the textile weight whilst guaranteeing the aesthetic quality, usage and durability, and also offering good value. Sourced from Dedar (https://dedar.com)
Twilltwenty
A classic twill. A particularly thick thread/yarn highlights the “Z” diagonal motif which makes the fabric more dynamic. The shiny and matt threads enhance the effect of the light on the surface. Sourced from Rubelli (http://www.rubelli.com/)
Kairos Collection
Tivano
Tivano is a semi-aniline leather with a hand-buffed finishing and a stone-washed effect. Produced with cattle of European origin, it has a thickness of 1.2-1.4 mm. The size of each skin is about 5 sqm. Due to the technical characteristics of the finish it is not possible to grant high surface resistance to rubbing or light. Furthermore, the particular processing does not guarantee uniformity of colour between different batches. Sourced from Penelopeoggi (http://www.penelopeoggi.com)
