From One Bank to Another

A designer with an atypical background, Patrick Norguet has a privileged relationship with both the production tool and the beauty of shapes. Harnessing his sense of colors, formal reserve, elegant purity, and steadfast quest for comfort, his work is the direct legacy of the canons of Nordic design, challenged by a fair dose of humor that embodies the object.His career took a lasting turn in 2000 when Giulio Cappellini noticed his famous Rainbow Chair, which is now featured in the collection of the MOMA in New York. Since then, he has been drawing for major designers such as Capellini, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Tacchini, Hermès, Tolix, Artifort, Pedrali, and Ethimo.
