Amour

What Bonaldo says about it

Conceived as a sculptural seat with generous proportions, the Amour armchair, designed by Fabrice Berrux for Bonaldo, embodies a vision in which design takes center stage: form, material, and function become true statements of intent. Both enveloping and open, its design evokes a simple, universal gesture: welcome. Defined by continuous, soft, flowing lines, Amour expresses the idea of comfort through the language of design, transforming it into a visual and sensory experience. The backrest opens like a protective shell, while the generously proportioned, slightly elongated seat invites natural, effortless relaxation. The absence of sharp angles reflects a deliberate design choice: every curve is carefully calibrated to achieve a harmonious balance between formal elegance and ergonomic well-being. The compact cylindrical swivel base creates an architectural contrast with the soft, enveloping shell. This element grounds the armchair in the space, reinforcing its presence while preserving a sense of visual lightness. The volumes appear suspended, striking a refined balance between structure and fluid form. Poised between a piece of furniture and a contemporary sculpture, the Amour armchair makes a striking visual statement. It does more than simply furnish a space: it interprets and defines it, engaging in an ongoing dialogue with its surroundings. Amour embodies Bonaldo's vision of design as a cultural value and sensory experience. To quote Fabrice Berrux: “I imagined it as a silent, complicit smile. Empty, it promises. Filled, it keeps its word. Amour, se vit.” Designed by Fabrice Berrux
