Brazilian designer Pietro Luigi Verona's Anima armchair, crafted in Nova Petropolis and inspired by the organic forms of Brazil's fauna and flora, has been honored with the Silver A' Furniture Design Award 2025, celebrating its unique blend of manual artistry, advanced technology, and emotional comfort that brings the essence of nature into indoor spaces.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Anima armchair, designed by Pietro Luigi Verona, has been awarded the prestigious Silver A' Furniture Design Award 2025, recognizing its exceptional creativity and technical achievement. Conceived and handcrafted in Nova Petropolis, Brazil, between January and June 2024, the Anima armchair draws inspiration from the playful symmetry and organic beauty of Brazil's rich biodiversity. Verona's immersive research involved field observations and sketches of native plants and animals, translating their intricate forms into a design that evokes the uplifting sensations of nature.
What sets the Anima armchair apart is its fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. The creative process began with hand drawings and manual woodworking, ensuring each curve and contour reflected the authenticity of natural forms. This was followed by 3D scanning of the physical prototype, enabling precise manufacturing on a 5-axis CNC machine while preserving the armchair's organic lines. Made from Tauari Brazilian reforestation wood and natural Brazilian cotton fabric, the armchair offers both visual and emotional comfort, enveloping users in a cocoon of relaxation reminiscent of a serene walk in the wild.
The Anima armchair's design not only highlights the elegance of Brazil's ecosystems but also demonstrates Verona's commitment to sustainability and artistry. Its dimensions-880 mm wide, 900 mm deep, and 700 mm high-make it a statement piece for any interior, inviting users to experience the calming influence of nature indoors. This international accolade affirms Pietro Luigi Verona's reputation for creating furniture that blends joy, authenticity, and innovative design, bringing the soul of nature into everyday living spaces.
