Due Più Lounge Chair
AN ECCENTRIC, PIONEERING SPIRIT
An icon born from a playful experiment by the visionary Nanda Vigo, Due Più masterfully blends architecture, art, and design. First conceived in 1971, Vigo's innovative approach transformed two upholstered cylinders covered in sumptuous Mongolian fur into a revolutionary seating solution, supported by an elegantly minimal chrome-plated tubular iron frame. The chair embodies Vigo’s dual creative spirit: minimalist geometric precision, inspired by her architectural studies and admiration for Giuseppe Terragni, and an eccentric, pioneering expressiveness rooted in her artistic collaborations, including curating the influential “ZERO avantgarde” exhibition in Lucio Fontana’s Milan studio.
Initially made exclusively on commission, Due Più is now available through Acerbis, bringing Vigo's bold vision into contemporary homes worldwide. Recognized internationally and honored with the Archiproducts Design Award 2023, this manifesto-chair continues to captivate with its ergonomic versatility, allowing multiple seating positions that effortlessly adapt to individual comfort.
Lounge Chair. The seat and back are padded with single-density polyurethane foam in a Ø19 cm cylindrical shape upholstered in Mongolia goat fur in white, black and rust. This upholstery gives the rollers a voluminous elegant effect. Sled frame in Ø3 cm tubular steel with chrome finish.

NANDA VIGO
Nanda Vigo
Due Più Lounge Chair
Nanda Vigo (Milan, 1936 – 2020) lived in Milan and East Africa. She was interested in art from a very young age when she spent time in the company of Filippo de Pisis and when she saw the architecture of Giuseppe Terragni from whom she learnt to pay attention to light. After having graduated from the Institut Polytechnique, Lausanne, and having studied further in San Francisco, in 1959 she set up her own studio in Milan and exhibited her work in galleries and museums in Europe and Italy. In 1965 she curated the legendary exhibition “ZERO avantgarde” in Lucio Fontana’s Milan studio. Vigo’s work is interdisciplinary, combining art, design, architecture and the environment, and she was involved with numerous projects as an architect, designer and artist. What distinguishes her lively career is attention to and research into Art, something which has pushed her to collaborate with some of the most significant figures of our time and to always undertake projects aimed at promoting Art.
MANUFACTURER
ACERBIS
One of the most enduring furniture companies in Italy, Acerbis stands as a connoisseur’s benchmark of Italian design — a pioneer with 150 years of expertise, whose continual search for modernity has produced creations of stunning innovation. First founded in 1870 by Benvenuto Acerbis in Bergamo’s Valle Seriana, Acerbis introduced cutting-edge industrial production and collaborations with some of Italy’s most trailblazing designers by the 1960s under Lodovico Acerbis, including Giotto Stoppino, Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Vico Magistretti, Nanda Vigo and Gianfranco Frattini.
Acerbis impart a fundamental luxury experience of design for users to match the conceptual aesthetic solutions of the furnishings. Over these years of experimentation and industrialization, Acerbis forged its DNA of Italian ingenuity for a future-gazing clientele ever since. Today this mission continues with fresh vigor. With industry leader MDF Italia investing in Acerbis for a newly cemented partnership, and recently appointed creative directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces helming a dynamic path forward, Acerbis affirms its family-led lineage of pace-setting vision, and its universe of designs that unite function and the avant-garde.
Looking to the past to face the challenges of the future, Acerbis takes on the great changes of our era, and the need to create a more sustainable society — a future that returns to a time when objects were made to last, when we needed only a few things but things that were beautiful and high-quality, when design meant a radical break from tradition and creating innovative products with the latest technology and material developments.
Acerbis will continue to offer beauty and functionality, like that found in all the iconic products of the company, which in its 150 years of experience has created products whose modernity survives the decades and remains avant-garde even today, and for the future. Continuing this mission means maintaining Acerbis as a place of research and experimentation, of new collaborations with both emerging and celebrated designers, and of breakthrough new products that will become future icons of design.
