Venetian
A sculptor by training, designer Richard Frinier brought an artist’s understanding of scale and volume to his 1987 Venetian collection, a breakout success for the company that remains a bestseller today. In the timeless spirit of Neoclassicism, Venetian has an upright elegance that highlights artisanship in its scrolling chair arms, X-base tables, and architectural banding.
NEOCLASSICAL FLOURISHES IN MODERN METAL
19th century touches include spiral volute details at the end of the arms, architectural banding on the legs, an x-back, cross-stretcher, and subtly flared and contoured back.
IN RESIDENCE AT THE RITZ
The Ritz Hotel in Paris honored Venetian’s classic high style by partnering with Brown Jordan on a collection for its limestone-paved garden terrace, just off the Place Vendôme.
A COMMANDING PRESENCE
Though light in weight and scale Venetian brings considerable charisma to alfresco dining.
VENETIAN ON THE PATIO
Esteemed architect Thierry Despont chose French-welted cushions, dyed to match the Ritz Hotel’s façade, for the Venetian collection’s scroll-arm dining chairs, armchairs, and banquettes.
