At first, the Serie FW collection may look like a series of seats that people have strewn clothes and fabric over, but they have been purposefully wrapped in felt. Threaded through a hole in each leg, the felt adds a casual and cozy element that is hard to not appreciate.
Designed by Tommaso Bistacchi and Giovanni Pappalardo, the Serie FW collection is comprised of four pieces: a stool, two seat bench, four seat bench and a bar stool. Aside from the use of felt strips, the Serie FW collection boasts bases made out of solid wood. The felt not only provides a cushioned surface to sit on, it also offers a simple shelf beneath the seat for storage of such items as magazines, remotes and more.
