{"product_id":"proust-geometrica","title":"Proust Geometrica","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlessandro Mendini first conceived the Proust armchair in 1978 for the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, applying a pointillist surface to a neo-Baroque silhouette as a provocation against functionalist orthodoxy. The gesture was both irreverent and precise: form borrowed from history, surface reinvented as painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Proust Geometrica carries that inheritance forward. Where the original dissolved into a field of painterly dots, this version asserts itself in bold, flat colour blocks. The multi-coloured geometric fabric was designed by Mendini himself, giving the piece a graphic intensity that reads as clearly across a room as it does up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-crafted construction, continuing the production discipline of the 1978 original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed cover in bright multi-coloured fabric, geometric pattern designed by Mendini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerously proportioned seat with a deep, enveloping comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Proust Geometrica occupies a rare position: a cult object that has accrued genuine critical weight over decades, yet remains formally alive.
