and Moroni. Sawaya and Moroni’s 2012 collection features the Fei Fei chair by William Sawaya among this year’s new
releases. This chair is composed conceptually from a single sheet of material
modelled like a modern origami, its form achieving harmony as it is folded in
on itself to shape the legs and the structure, its synthesis of volume
reminiscent of an embracing organic form.

The sculptural movement in the flat surface, of the chair, is cut out of
a single sheet and underlines on the one hand the designer’s lucid approach to
his composition and, on the other, the care paid to executing the finished
object. Made of high density polyurethane, Fei Fei comes either in a single
color or in two-tone versions (one inside, one outside) that emphasize the
point where the surface is turned upon itself in the formation of the joint
between the rear leg and the backrest.
