Recently, modern Italian brand Billiani dropped a new seating collection, designed by Philippe Bestenheider. The capsule's name is 'Edelweiss' and the silhouettes that are part of it were inspired by "the concept of balance."
The sculptural construction of the chairs definitely plays around with the intricacies of form and creates a visual appeal. The collaborators focused on delivering a seating collection that was both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. To infuse the designs with some interesting qualities, Billiani and Philippe Bestenheider referenced "the formal and constructive elegance of Swiss design" which also is very deeply intertwined with the idea of balance. More specifically, "Bestenheider made reference to traditional Alpine chairs that share the slotted construction between the seat and backrest."
