The armchairs designed by Paola Navone stand out as pieces with real character, conceived by one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary design. An Italian architect and designer trained at the Politecnico di Milano, Paola Navone has spent several decades developing a visual language that blends cultural references, generous materials and expressive forms. Her approach, always as attentive to feeling as to function, comes through in armchairs that inhabit a space without overwhelming it, with an assured presence and a rare formal coherence. The Cool Republic offers a selection of 5 models that capture the essence of this world.
Every armchair in this collection reflects Paola Navone's flair for contrast: generous volumes and controlled lines, sturdy structures and welcoming seats. Her creations belong to the tradition of the comfortable living room armchair, reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility that rejects all academicism. The models available here span a wide range of aesthetic propositions, from rounded shapes to more architectural constructions, with finishes and upholstery suited to discerning interiors. To broaden your search, take a look at the &tradition armchairs or the Bloomingville armchairs, two worlds that share with Navone a commitment to design quality and to the clarity of the designer's gesture.
These designer armchairs work just as well in a main living room as in a study or a reading corner. Their strong character makes them effective as standalone pieces, yet they pair happily with more understated seating to create a balanced ensemble. To vary the mood, the green armchairs or the pink armchairs offer complementary colour directions. These are choices for anyone looking to anchor their interior around a thoughtfully conceived, long-lasting and visually coherent piece.
