About the Item
Highly collectible and visually striking, this Marco Mencacci ‘Tatlim’ chair, designed in the 1990s for Sawaya & Moroni, Milan, embodies the bold experimentation of Italian postmodern design. The chair features a minimalist square seat in black lacquered wood, anchored by tapered legs and punctuated by a dramatic, round, lace-edged backrest—a playful gesture that references both historical ornament and contemporary abstraction. A standout statement piece, the ‘Tatlim’ chair merges sculptural form, artistic irreverence, and Italian design pedigree in one unforgettable silhouette.
This rare example sits at the intersection of design art and functional object, aligning with the expressive ethos of Memphis Milano while remaining distinct in Mencacci’s own experimental language. It is ideal for collectors of postmodern furniture, gallery interiors, or as a sculptural accent in curated contemporary spaces.
