Project selected among the 10 must-see exhibitions in the 5VIE design district, for our DWalking guide dedicated to Milan Design Week 2022.
Passiflora chaise longue by Maurizio Galante & Tal Lancman for VGO Associates consists of 36 large and 57 small flowers made of hand-knotted and sewn vegetable leather. It is a hand-knotted chaise longue on which to lie as if it were a soft bed of flowers.
“To be seated within a bouquet of blooming passion flowers, immersed in petals.” say the designers. Constructed from a bent perforated industrial plate structure, to which soft leather flowers are hand tied and fixed by chrome rings.
