Blending intricate craftsmanship with sculptural elegance, the Pavone is a testament to Visionnaire's ongoing commitment to artistic design and fine Italian manufacturing. Named after the peacock, the Italian word "pavone", the armchair captures the regality and poise of the bird through a dramatic composition of form and material.
An armchair as sculpture
Described by its designer as an armchair, but composed like a throne, Pavone features a unique petal-like structure that surrounds the seat in an organic embrace. The external frame is composed of brass and steel, while the armrests and backrest are formed from individually cast brass elements, shaped like a corolla of petals.
Each petal is hand-finished and fitted with an upholstered pad, offering both visual richness and tactile comfort. The result is a piece that sits at the intersection of functional seating and decorative art, ideal for statement interiors.
Details of craftsmanship
The Pavone seat and back cushion are padded in polyurethane foam of varying densities combined with acrylic fibre, ensuring optimal ergonomic support. The lower structure of the seat is made of wood and covered in leather, while the base is crafted in chromed metal. For added personalisation, all visible metal parts can be lacquered in any colour from Visionnaire's curated metal finish selection.
This careful balance of material innovation and traditional technique is central to Visionnaire's ethos, rooted in bespoke, sartorial design.
A designer with a vision
Marc Ange, the designer behind the Pavone, is known for his imaginative and often surreal design language. With this latest piece, he elevates everyday seating to a new realm of expression and drama, embodying a vision of beauty that is both fantastical and functional.
The Pavone armchair exemplifies Visionnaire's continued exploration of design as an emotional and aesthetic journey, where each product becomes a piece of living art.
