Pair of CL9 Ribbon Chairs by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi for Fiarm
About the Item
1961, Italy. Lacquered fiberglass on a tubular chrome-plated steel base.
“In 1957, in the second year of university, while the professor of Construction Sciences explains the principle of the ‘resistance through form’ of materials, Cesare Leonardi bends a sheet of paper and imagines a continuous element shaped to include a seat, armrests and a backrest at the same time. This simple intuition was at the origin of the Ribbon Chair (Nastro). However, a number of years went by before he and Franca Stagi managed to produce a prototype. His encounter with Alfonso Negri, a skilled Modenese craftsman, is decisive. “I like it,” he said, “let’s try and make it out of fibreglass.” After a long experimentation phase, in 1961 the Ribbon prototype saw the light.”
