Gaetano Pesce Feltri Armchair by Cassina
By Gaetano Pesce, Cassina
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Armchair model Feltri designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1987.
Manufactured by Cassina in Italy.
Crafted using a patented Cassina production technique, Feltri is a symbol of cutting-edge design, the result of representational research played out on the hybrid field between art and practicality.
Made entirely of thick felted wool, this design armchair by Gaetano Pesce combines an enveloping pliable backrest with a rigid lower section; a quilted topper creates an inviting cocoon.
Available in many versions, through quilt and structure combinations in different colors. The seat is attached to the structure with black hemp ties that also outline the upper borders of the chair.
A familiar figure on many modern antiques’ and collectors’ sites, Feltri is a summation of thinking about figuration in the hybrid zone where the
artistic meets the functional. One of a kind, this piece stands out for its enormous flexibility and for the fact that the mattress-like seat can be
upholstered in wide array of fabrics. These can be mixed and matched with the six new colour options of the frame, to provide a total of ten
colourways. Feltri was created within Cassina’s Research Centre, a place synonymous with experimentation and constructional avant-garde
thinking. Here, Gaetano Pesce dedicated time and thought to the design, in the process thinking up a complex new manufacturing process that
was later patented by the company. Created entirely from dense wool felt, the pliable, wrap-around back is all one piece. The lower section,
meanwhile, is rigid and sturdy, thanks to being impregnated with a thermosetting resin. The seat is attached to the frame using hemp ties; these
also extend around the chair’s upper part. A comfortable quilt, coupled with polyester wadding, serves to upholster the inner section of the chair.

About the designer:
Gaetano Pesce was born in La Spezia in 1939. He studied architecture at
the IUAV in Venice, and attended the Venice Institute of Industrial design.
At this experimental school, he met Milena Vettore with whom he opened a
studio in Padua, founding in 1959 the “N” Group which focussed on with
studies in programmed art. He carries out research in the field of kinetic and
serial art. He is in the theatre and the cinema, concerned with lighting,
movement and sound as means of expression. Since 1962 he has worked in
design, experimenting with new materials and unusual shapes. In 1971 he
collaborated with BracciodiFerro (in the Cassina group) for the production of
certain experimental objects (like Moloch, 1971, a table lamp blown up to
the dimensions of an ironic and emblematic item). In 1972 he took part in
the famous exhibition “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” at MoMA in
New York, with a dwelling module. Experimentation and irony are also
exhibited in his projects for Cassina, amongst which the Tramonto a New
York sofa (1980) and the Feltri armchair...
