Tradition and modernity interact through the materials chosen and the shapes of the PINCE armchair, always signed by LucidiPevere, characterized by a curved ash "C", a fundamental point of the project, which defines the back: a detail that recalls the world of GTV, interpreted in current key, giving the seat an essential and elegant appeal.
The geometric lines of the upholstered body are minimal and defined, interrupted only by the slight movement of the fabric created by the C-shaped backrest that wraps the seat.
Paolo Lucidi (1974)
Luca Pevere (1977)
Both graduated from the Politecnico di Milano, they are professionally trained with Marc Sadler and Marco Ferreri (2002-2006) with whom they work for numerous international companies.
They began to sign the first projects together from 2003 and in 2006 they founded their LucidiPevere studio.
