Folding chair "Piana" design David Chipperfield, 2011
The "PIANA" folding chair has benn designed for Alessi by David Chipperfield and is produced by Lamm in San Secondo (Parma). It is made of polypropylene reinforced with fibreglass, is 100% recyclabe, suitable for the outdoors, made in Italy, measures / cm when foded and is available in a wide range of colours. These are the technical/functional characteristics. From a creative point of view, I consider it a mastertroke in the most difficult area for designers: a type of product thet many artists have tried their hand at throughout history but with so few excellent result. The revelation in this design has much to do with geometric abstraction and the search for freat formal simplicity: rigour and precision as the typical qualities of the poetics of David Chipperfield.
