Antonio Citterio Chairs

Italian, b. 1950

Driven by his belief that beautiful surroundings can heighten the enjoyment of even mundane everyday rituals, Italian architect and industrial designer Antonio Citterio creates furniture that combines sophisticated form with functionality. Citterio’s timeless neoclassical-inspired chairs, outdoor furniture, desks and other pieces have earned him a place among the most influential furniture designers working in his native country.

Born in 1950 in Meda, Citterio grew up just a stone's throw away from the artistic hub of Milan. In 1972, at just 22 years old, he opened his first design studio and designed a chair for the La Rinascente department store while completing his studies in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Citterio established a partnership with famed furniture designer Terry Dwan, and the pair worked together during the 1980s and 1990s, designing striking buildings in European cities as well as Japan. He is currently chairperson at an interior design and architecture firm with fellow architect Patricia Viel and eight other partners. 

Citterio taught at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Mendrisio, Switzerland, from 2006 to 2016. He holds art director roles for high-end furniture manufacturers Maxalto, Arclinea and Azucena, and today, Citterio lounge chairs, sofas and other furnishings are in hotels all over the world. Citterio’s work is synonymous with luxury, and has yielded collaborations with reputable brands such as Kartell, Knoll, Flexform, Vitra and B&B Italia. His Sity seating collection for the latter and kitchen furnishings for Arclinea are among his best-known innovations.

Citterio has received many awards and accolades for his design work, including the Compasso d’Oro. He was also given the title of “Royal Designer for Industry” by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts in 2008.

Pair of Antonio Citterio Leather Sling 'Timeless' Chairs for Flexform Italy
By Flexform, Antonio Citterio

Heavy and substantial, these classy and sophisticated yet sleek pair of chairs were designed by Antonio Citterio for Flexform and given the name "Timeless" which was a great name, as many designers and dealers have a hard time pinpointing when this was made as it has the look, feel and quality of chairs made decades earlier and are always in timeless style. These often attributed to Paul Tuttle sling chairs features a chromed steel frame forming an X-base and a rich brown leather sling seat is stretched over it. The sides of the frame have multiple embellishments or hand holds, which are wrapped in the same high quality leather. While sharing similarities with Paul Tuttle's Zeta and Arco chairs and sharing in style as many of Milo Baughman and Cy Mann's designs, this unique and high quality chair has been featured in recent TV set design, such as the hit show "Ballers" featuring Dwayne Johnson...
