Customizable Tacchini Klotski Chair by Michael Anastassiades

About the Item

Different finishes and upholstery materials Price for cherry wood and starting fabric Michael Anastassiades designs Klotski for Tacchini, a chair that embodies simplicity as its essence. The name refers to a hypothetical layout of a series of wooden blocks, similar to that of sliding-block puzzles where the aim is to move a specific block to some predefined location. The back appears as if a section has been slid and lifted up from below, starting exactly where the armrests finish — appearing as if balancing on the edges. It is positioned at a slight tilt and with a scooped geometric section on its upper part; subtle gestures to provide comfort while not deviating from the strict appearance. The armless version of the chair shares a similar aesthetic. It is stackable and slightly smaller in size. The upholstered seat on both versions sits within a thin wooden frame and is padded for further comfort. Behind its seemingly simple construction lies a play of geometries, angles, and lines that ensure the product’s longevity – an attribute that, according to the designer, is the greatest achievement of an object. “The starting point was creating a chair that looks and feels utilitarian but introduces a level of sophistication to an everyday product, elevating it and giving the chair a completely different experience.” It is made either in cherry, with a warm, red undertone and a straight grain that highlights the careful geometry of the chair, or a monochrome matt green painted version that emphasises the simplicity and refinement.

Customizable Tacchini Julep Chair by Jonas Wagell
By Jonas Wagell Design & Architecture, Tacchini
Located in New York, NY
Soft, enveloping shapes characterize this family of upholstered pieces. Julep is influenced by the 1950s Avant Garde movement, drawing upon its simplicity and grandeur, refined by a contemporary, romantic, feminine allure. Star of the series is the sofa, whose generous rounded lines provided evolutionary DNA for the entire collection – including an armchair, a chaise-longue and an ottoman – in an interplay of proportions and shapes that gave rise, little by little, to all the other versions. Fully upholstered, the seats look ample and full, yet convey a sense of lightness, thanks to the recessed base that invisibly lifts them off the floor. Designed...
