The Super Frog armchair is conceived to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Frog. More than a mere variation, it is an evolution that redefines the object’s identity, enhancing its presence and perception with refined details, drilled or milled structure, lending new lightness and character to the iconic armchair. The proportions expand, the contours become more defined, and the aluminium frame gains greater visual weight. The result is a seat that retains the recognizability of the original while accentuating its character, working on the delicate balance between lightness and solidity that has defined Frog since its inception. Available in armchair and lounge versions, Super Frog continues the dialogue with the 1995 project, updating its language without altering its logic. Further distinguishing this interpretation are the seat and backrest panels, offered in two configurations. Horizontal grooves rhythmically define the surface, emphasizing the depth of the volume; the drilled variant, on the other hand, introduces a more dynamic, almost optical visual effect, lightening the overall perception as it interacts with the light.
Alongside these elements emerges a subtler, unexpected material detail: a finish suggesting the texture of amphibian skin. An ironic, almost narrative reference that plays with the project’s name and adds a layer of interpretation between reality and suggestion, without ever becoming a simple decorative element. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the seat features a glossy painted aluminium frame – in white, black, or wine red – combined with marine-grade okumè panels reinforced with carbon fibre and protected by a matt transparent finish. For interiors, the configuration is completed with matt lacquered panels and removable cushions in fabric or leather, introducing a softer, more adaptable dimension. In Piero Lissoni’s words, Super Frog is like a “beautiful thirty-year-old”: a presence that has transformed over time, gaining greater structure without losing its identity. It is precisely this tension between continuity and change that defines its character, making it suitable for various contexts, from domestic spaces to contract environments.
Super Frog remains a highlight among Living Divani’s creations, available both at the prestigious Living Divani Gallery showroom on Corso Monforte 20 and in the brand’s curated exhibitions. A unique opportunity to explore the latest collections and witness the evolution of this representative piece of contemporary design.
