Edelweiss by Billiani: Light-weight Wood According to Philippe Bestenheider

Billiani’s Edelweiss collection, designed by Philippe Bestenheider, explores wood with a contemporary twist as it is transformed into refined chairs, stools and loungers. The seats are made of ash plywood, with reduced thicknesses that guarantee a surprising combination of comfort and formal research.

The wide arched backrest, a distinctive feature of the collection, joins the seat at a cleverly designed joint. This detail not only emphasizes the construction precision, but also recalls the aesthetics of traditional alpine chairs, reinterpreting them as a micro-architecture with modern proportions.

Available in two versions – with full or perforated backrest – Edelweiss celebrates absolute lightness. In the perforated model, the graphic signs are not only decorative, but further reduce the material to creating a dynamic and functional chair. This balance between aesthetics and practicality makes the collection perfect for contract furniture schemes and contemporary spaces.
