Carrephilia is an armchair that combines Parisian heritage and Italian design, the result of the collaboration between Poltrona Frau and Wilmotte & Industries. Its name captures its essence: “carré” evokes the square as a symbol of balance and geometric rigor, while “philia” recalls the idea of hospitality and sharing. A semantic and formal synthesis that perfectly expresses the identity of the seat: strong, welcoming, balanced, yet rich in sophisticated details. 

Specifications

The Carrephilia armchair stands out for its visual presence and extraordinary comfort. Its generous proportions are balanced by a surprising optical lightness, achieved through the use of a network of Pelle Frau® strips woven with a technique inspired by cannage, yet reinterpreted in a contemporary way. The result is a transparent, sophisticated, and durable texture that envelops the seat in a continuous flow between interior and exterior, like an endless ribbon. The sophisticated woven motif, inspired by the world of high-fashion leather goods, is applied to a wooden structural frame with sartorial precision. The steam-bent ash armrests define the silhouette with a fluid and elegant twist that extends from the top of the backrest to the horizontal plane, with a calibrated outward projection ensuring the best comfort experience. Carrephilia is a highly customizable product: finishes, colors, and materials can be chosen and adapted according to the needs of each project, ensuring maximum consistency with high-end hospitality and residential contexts.

Wilmotte & Industries

The Wilmotte & Industries design studio explores the areas of “environmental design” and has built a real reputation in the world of industrial design and object design. The studio works with numerous firms and manufacturers in France, Italy, Germany and the United States, in particular. This “architect’s design” is characterised by great care taken over composition and a keen awareness of materials and finishes. Its pure and simple lines aim to convey readability, coherence and the authenticity of the object and a certain form of timelessness. Indispensable within the agency, the designers serve industrial demand as closely as possible, but also, in keeping with the spirit of the studio’s origins, the demand of the architectural teams at Wilmotte & Associés for the design of made-to-measure objects required for their projects. They therefore devote a significant part of their activity to “integrated design”. Discover more.
