Sanluca Lounge Chair

SKU #Sanluca_Lounge_Chair_5326111

Overview

The ergonomically designed Sanluca lounge chair is shaped to enwrap the body and at the same time seems to sketch a movement in space. It is an extraordinary example of timeless Italian design. Designed by the Castiglioni brothers, the Sanluca lounge chair turns upside-down the traditional constructive logic by emptying out the traditional padding to lay bare the essential curves that are "strictly necessary" to ensure optimal support. The result is an ergonomic profile which is extremely comfortable and creates a strong formal impact, which has become nowadays a symbol of the history of the Italian design. Firm wooden structure made of subsequently assembled elements. The padding is diversified density polyurethane foam. The upholstery is available in either Pelle Frau leather or Heritage leather. An optional ottoman, designed by Achille Catiglioni in 1991, is also available. Manufactured by Poltrona Frau.

Designer

Achille Castiglioni

Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) was born in Milan and graduated from Politecnico di Milano University with a degree in architecture in the late 1930s. Shortly thereafter, he set up a design office with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in Milan where he dedicated himself to experimenting with industrial products. Achille, along with his brothers, went on to become one of the most renowned industrial designers in post-war Italy. His works are included in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including fourteen pieces within New York's Museum of Modern Art. The designer has won nine Compasso d′Oro awards, including a special mention in 1989 as an individual dedicated to industrial design who, by means of his incomparable experience, "elevated industrial design to the highest levels of culture." In his lifetime, he designed and collaborated on nearly 150 objects, many of which are still in production today by Alessi, DePadova, Flos, Poltrona Frau, Tacchini, and Zanotta.
