FROG By Living Divani
Frog is the armchair with supporting frame in steel with chromed-plated finish or epoxy powder coating gunmetal grey color, burnish color, RAL – K7 9010 white or RAL – K7 9017 black and, on request, AISI 316 Stainless Steel with matt satin-finish. Metal chassis embedded in cold-expanded polyurethane foam with covering in 100% polyether thermally bonded onto a polyamide velveteen backing. Back and seat cushion with performed polyurethane foam structure, covered with acrylic fibre layers. Quilted fabric or leather upholstery. The fabric version only is fully removable by zippers and Velcro fastenings after unscrewing the chassis from the supporting frame.
To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Frog has been updated with new finishes.
The structure can be painted with epoxy powders in the colours Canne de Fusil, RAL K-7 9017 Matt Black or RAL K-7 9010 White.
Full braiding on warp and weft for the cellulose rope version; or the very elegant version with leather scooby braiding, which reveals its character only at close quarters.
The most avant-garde version is CARBON FROG: the design and the research into materials remain the same, with braiding in flat Nylon collar rope. Black.
The starting point was a 3D scan of the original version; a number of assembly options compatible with Carbon were evaluated, and specific software was used to create the mould for the chair. The mould is made from aluminium, using 5-axis numerical control cutting, and polished to give the Carbon an initial surface finish.The structure of the chair, made by highly qualified personnel, is entirely hand-worked with multiaxial and unidirectional fabrics, superimposed orthogonally, to make the structure more rigid, preserving strength and reducing weight.
Developed using a 2/3 mm thick circular tubular, the structure has been reinforced at the points of highest stress and has undergone a curing cycle in a high-temperature autoclave at constant pressure.
