Adriano Piazzesi

ADRIANO PIAZZESI (Florence, 1923-2009).
Pair of armchairs. Okay" model, 1970s.
Black leather.
Chromed metal tubular structure.
Measurements: 80 x 100 x 97 cm; 40 cm (seat height).

Pair of wide and enveloping armchairs designed by Adriano Piazzesi in the seventies, entirely upholstered in black leather, with a soft texture that contrasts with the chrome-plated tubular skeleton that runs along the waist of the furniture, thus playing with the disparity of materials and qualities. It is a design of rounded shapes and rounded volumes, cozy and comfortable, with a structure of traditional base but reread in a modern key through the purification of forms.

Designer, painter and sculptor, Adriano Piazzesi investigates the relationship between the object and the user; for him design is not an accessory, but an integral part of marketing and production in which artistic sensibility and projective aptitude can be used.
