Mattiazzi’s Fronda chair comprises a sturdy pine frame with a sculpted, contoured metal seat in the middle. The real gist of the design, however, lies underneath the seat: propped between the chair’s legs, a small wooden shelf offers a handy spot for storing a handbag during a dinner party or a meal at a restaurant. Designed by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, the chair and the shelf draw inspiration from the contemporary nomadic life where we need a place for our personal belongings even in public places.
