Sanluca Armchair by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni


Sanluca Armchair by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

Designed in 1960 for Gavina.

I took this photo September 24, 2011 in the Milan Triennale Design Museum

The three points of support for the body – seat,back,headrest – are separate, built with different degrees of padding and are both struturally separate (designed to be pressed seperately). This object succeeds in being a synthesis of traditional forms and has another special feature once seated, all parts of the body, wherever they rest, are comfortably supported
