Product description
This model alky lounge chair was designed by giancarlo piretti for the renowned castelli publishing house. This Italian designer studied at the instituto statale d'arte before starting his career at anonima castelli. For more than two decades, he has created a range of furniture, including the plia chair, the alky armchair and the dorsal, which have become design icons. His creations are both functional and aesthetic, and have been widely recognized throughout the design world. "alky" is typical of 70's design, part of the space age universe. This movement was born in the 60s in response to the space race, and is characterized by the use of organic forms and new materials to create a futuristic utopian aesthetic. It influenced many fields, from fashion to architecture and popular culture. This lounge chair is designed with a sturdy aluminum frame, covered in polyurethane foam.
