Driade NEMO Chair by Fabio Novembre

We all wear masks, all the time. No matter how we look from the outside, our inner world is hidden from the relatives. This is probably the philosophy behind this project by Fabio Novembre. Judging from his website, this artist is a little bit crazy in a good way, making him create the furniture that is really unique in it’s concept and look. The NEMO mask chair looks like a sculpture of woman’s face and has enough space to accommodate and completely hide a person behind that mask. It gives a sense of mystery and beauty to your interior or patio, magically turning your house to the theatrical scene. The chair is designed to be used outside and inside alike; rotational moulded polyethylene is extremely weatherproof.
