Since 2005, his long-term furniture projects have been supported by the VIA, thanks to which he was able to design the Spiral shelf, Storage-Unit chest and Intersection divans. In January 2009, the Twin-Chairs chairs and the Tréteau universal table base fallowed.
Some of Philippe’s projects have been put into production, like the Cross-Unit (Sintesi) or Intersection, from which sprang the Confluences collection of upholstery, produced by Ligne Roset.
One of the many highlights of his career was in 2008, when he was awarded 2nd prize in the ‘Autogrill’ restaurant competition, with M. Biffi. Philippe Nigro’s designs have an international appeal and resonate with design lovers.
EntaillesThis is the quintessential sofa for your summer house.The Entailles is a classic example of Philippe Nigro design, these couches are “semi”-articulated in that they have functional notches that allow the insertion of little occasional tables
(for reading, writing, working, drinking, eating).
Spiral ShelfThe PassioSofa (top) is influenced by a growing environmental awareness and the need to get closer to nature. Philippe designed Passio / Résille, to bridge the gap between indoors and outdoors. The inventive design is conceived mainly for living rooms, dining rooms or kitchens, but a choice of suitable materials also lets it be enjoyed al fresco. This collection is comprised of a sofa, an armchair and a chair.
T.U. Table 2010This spectacular dining table has a metal base in folded soldered steel finished in epoxy white, red or black lacquer. It comes in a thick alveolar panels (laminate, reversible & double-sided with natural oak veneered edges) or in solid wood (faces and edges in walnut; core in spruce), and a base which is adjustable in both width and thickness thanks to a system of clamps which attach to the edges of the tops (clamp has chromed steel screw fitting).
Inseparable 2010This small low table from a collection designed for Ligne Roset can also be used as a sofa end table. A footstool slides beneath it, offering an occasional seat when used independently of the table.Ingenious and extremely useful when you live in New York City where space is at a premium, and when each piece of furniture must be as adaptable as it possibly can.
