Albereta
Cozy, comfy and reassuring. Albereta, the armchair designed by Philippe Nigro, is characterized by its tall, wide wrap-around backrest, solid ash wood feet and soft and absolutely contemporary curves. Whether used in the living room or an open space, it is perfect for creating a cozy little corner for reading, listening to music or simply relaxing.

Since 2005, long-term furniture projects have been supported by the VIA, thanks to which he was able to design the Spiral shelf, Storage-Unit chest and Intersection divans and, in January 2009, the Twin-Chairs chairs and the Tréteau universal table base. Certain of his projects have been put into production, such as Cross-Unit (Sintesi) or Intersection, from which sprang the Confluences collection of upholstery, produced by Ligne Roset.
