ALTERNATINING COLOR CONCEPT

    EOS armchair retouched with an intrinsic new color pattern   Florence, Italy- A new version of the EOS chair designed by arch. Leonardo Rossano, has
been proposed with an intrinsic new color scheme. The chair produced by True Design of Padova, is named 'EOS' derived from the Greek goddess 'dawn' or morning twilight. The chair
is designed for boardrooms, lounges and refined home settings. The EOS chair has
been now retailored by young designer, Sara Arias, with a pallet of colors that
express the chair's underlying structure. The new alternate version uses a multicolored
fabric selection and was inspired by the chair's modular system. The chair was originally available
only in solid color tones. This unique version was fabricated custom for
the Florence Institute after a visit to the chair's factory.
  The original EOS
design has been available since last year in many bright colors, characteristic
of the product selection of True Design. Until now EOS had
only been upholstered with a single color on all sides. This new version
however proposes multiple colors on the same chair that help to express the
'inner concept.' Architect Rossano commented “EOS is a modular concept which utilizes
three standard elements; seat, backrest-armrest and corner" Rossano
continues that "Identical components
are then used for the armchair, two-seater, or three-seater versions"

The design of the chair, by Professor & Architect Rossano, here is proposed
by his former student, Sara Arias, using different hue's assigned to identify each of the
standard chair elements. “When visiting the factory, I had the
opportunity to see the chair's prototype and how fabric is applied. The chair's
structure, made up of individual pieces, was like 'assembling a puzzle'. Then
through a presentation of fabric over the separate parts and through an understanding
of the inner structure, I felt the lines and junction could be expressed better
with colored fabric."

The new scheme is a combination of a color in the same gamma of darker
to lighter tones, the fabrics identify each piece in an approach that
subdivides the system into smaller parts. Arias continues that, "Structure which makes a harmonic
rhythm of glamour and style through selection of colors, matching fine lines
and creating a new design". The colored fabric schemes were conceived in either
versions of purple, green or orange and have been named EOS ARIAS, to give a personal identity.
