Pierre Shell

Pierre Shell

Design Studio Contromano, 2022

A collection of lively and informal armchairs. Hybrid creations for relaxed and spontaneous conviviality.

Armchairs with a soft padded seat with irregular shape, available in three dimensions. The curved metal backrest is available in the following finishes: anodic bronze, matt burnished, white, black, greige, while the seat and cushion covers are totally removable and available in a wide range of fabrics and colours that were specifically designed for outdoor use. The option of freely combining the seat cover, the backrest cover and the metal finish makes the Pierre armchairs lively, young and full of personality. A cover in waterproof and breathable polyester fabric allows the armchairs to be kept in good conditions when not in use and it protects them from atmospheric agents and from the effects of sunlight.
In a shaded outdoor space, the Atollo table—featuring a frame in the T013 Matte Burnished finish and a metal tabletop—is nestled between three Pierre Shell chairs upholstered in Noah 0911 ecru fabric. The combination of finishes and fabrics creates a welcoming oasis with a sophisticated aesthetic.
Viewed from above, the composition reveals the curved geometry of the Atollo table, featuring a metal top embellished with a central floral motif. The Pierre Shell chair, with its ecru-colored Noah 0911 fabric seat, fits neatly beneath the tabletop, while the curved metal backrest creates a dynamic silhouette.
  • On a spacious terrace nestled in the rolling hills, the Pierre outdoor collection creates an elegant open-air living room. Two armchairs with Shell-style shells in a Matte Burnished T013 finish are upholstered in Eva 0817 milk fabric, paired with a third armchair—also in Matte Burnished T013—upholstered in Eva 0816 quartz fabric. Two matching poufs in quartz-colored Eva 0816 fabric enhance the arrangement. In the center, a Pierre coffee table in white T011 finish holds decorative items, flanked by two other round coffee tables in the same finish. An additional coffee table, in matte greige T019, completes the setup.
A close-up enhances the enveloping softness of the Pierre Shell armchair in matte burnished T013 and upholstered in milk Eva 0817 fabric. The generous seat accommodates a cushion upholstered in quartz-colored Eva 0816 in contrasting colors. Next to it, the Pierre coffee table in white T011 finish stands as a practical, unobtrusive top. Above, a small matte beige watering can and a matte black cup tell a relaxed and functional everyday life story.
The armchairs of the Pierre Shell collection have soft, elegant lines. The backrest in curved metal wraps around the seat, following and exalting the symmetry.
In the foreground, the Pierre coffee table in white T011 is flanked by a second coffee table in the same tone and two Pierre ottomans in Eva 0816 quartz fabric. Rounded shapes and beveled edges evoke a pleasing harmony between solid volumes and smooth surfaces. On the main table, a matte black bowl and a terracotta vase contribute to a material composition with an understated taste. On the sides, two Pierre Shell armchairs, one in milk Eva 0817 and one in quartz Eva 0816, complete the arrangement with balanced geometries.
The scene focuses on a Pierre Shell armchair with a back and seat upholstered in quartz-colored Eva 0816 fabric with a full-bodied, irregular texture. The shape is soft and welcoming, with rounded edges and compact proportions. The upholstery highlights the tailored workmanship and harmony between comfort and style.
Two Pierre Shell armchairs with matte Brunito T013 metal frames are distinguished by their soft, enveloping shape. The seats are upholstered in Bruno 0858 fabric, a deep, warm brown, while the back cushions feature the slightly lighter Bruno 0856 fabric, creating an elegant tonal contrast. In the background, a Pierre side table with the same burnished finish completes the ensemble, providing a functional and refined storage space. The setting is enhanced by a gray natural stone floor and wall, which enhance the color palette and provide a sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere.
In a setting characterized by a veined stone wall, the Pierre Shell armchair is presented with a frame in T013 matte burnished metal. The seat is upholstered in Bruno 0858 fabric, a deep brown, while the back cushion uses Bruno 0856 fabric, a slightly lighter shade, offering a subtle interplay of shades. Next to it, a Pierre side table in the same burnished finish houses a geometric metal sculpture, adding an artistic touch to the ensemble. The overall setting conveys a sense of contemporary, understated elegance.
Elegant or extremely vivid: it is easy to personalize the décor of your outdoor space by choosing your preferred colour for the seat and the backrest cushions, selecting them in the same cover material or in a contrasting colour.
