Italian-born Philippe Nigro's innovative creation, called 'Confluences' employs counterforms in an overlapping arrangement of furniture elements that works like a puzzle to make multiple configurations from a few basic pieces. The varying seat heights and seat depths allow for a variety of sitting positions and comfort choices including foam density choices.
The Philippe Nigro Confluences design is produced and sold by by Ligne Roset at retail outlets, including their own, worldwide.
