The initial design of the Bergère seat grew out of the specific demand of business to present a renewed form of this precise type of seating, which in the memory of furnishings represents the "armchair par excellence." The "Bergère" with pouf is inspired by the forms of tradition: it is a padded armchair with a varnished metal base and upholstered in removable fabric. The seat has two inclined settings: conversation position and repose position. The Bergère mold has given rise to two other two products: the "Légère" low armchair, with a simplified leg and a single position for the back, suited to ether the home or the contract sector, and a sofa, the "Sofa Berger" in a high-backed version and the low-backed "Sofa Léger", both with lower back support cushion and metal feet. The range of upholstery for the whole system offers floral weaves, circular quilted material, a version in undecorated material and leather. The products are fully fitted with zips for removable upholstery, a tribute to the teaching of Vico Magistretti, with whom Patricia worked for many years.
