Rennie Chair by Kazuhide Takahama for S. Gavina
Rennie Chair by Kazuhide Takahama for Gavina
Found it on VNTG
Dino Gavina founded Studio Simon in 1968, after the sale of his previous activity, Gavina SpA, to Knoll International (the USA branche). Knoll states it bought the leftovers of Gavina SPA after its bankruptcy. I believe S. Gavina stands for Studio Simon.

A seating-sculpture that has become one of the company’s icons, the S-Chair is the object that made its inventor Tom Dixon famous. The chair is characterized by the unmistakable lithe sihouette that is developped upward and ideally inscribed in a cylinder: form that makes it possible to distribute weight across an extremely reduced circular base and still maintain perfect stability, the result of which is an object which is both elegant and dynamic

A design of 2010. For Capellini.
I took this photo September 24, 2011 in the Milan Triennale Design Museum
Looking like the corolla of the flower from which it take its name, the seat was created by revising the proportions of a classic armchair, which Wanders lengthened considerably. It has a swivel base in black lacquered metal, while the shell is made of soft polyurethane coinjected with rigid polyurethane.

P4 Catalina Chair by Luigi Caccia Dominioni
P4 Catalina Chair by Luigi Caccia Dominioni
I took this photo September 24, 2011 in the Milan Triennale Design Museum
In 1957 the Catalina Chair, brought into the spotlight on the stage of the 11th Milan Tiennale, masterfully attested to the foundations of the design orientation of the figure known as “Caccia”, who was as reserved as he was intellectually appreciated for the way he went about his profession. The structure in cast iron, hot lacquered in Renault gray – the same gray as the first metallic cars – consists in three thin metal rods joined at the top by a ribbon made of the same material. The idea was to model an iron bar in a ribbon that after a few short centimeters would curve into a comfortable armrest. The oval seat in black polyester-lacquered wood in the original version of the chair is fitted with an expanded polyurethane cushion upholstered in Azucena leather or velvet fastened by the three upright rods.
