Mario Ceroli Set of Eight Fratina High Chair in Pine by Poltronova 1972

La Curva Chair by Jaclyn Pappalardo

La Curva Chair by Jaclyn Pappalardo
Dimensions: W 40 x D 47 x H 88.5 cm
Materials: Douglas Fir.
Jaclyn is a designer and maker based in London. Her background in set design informs her creative work as a designer. Colour and texture play an important role in developing each and every project. With a particular interest in the use of seating, Jaclyn looks at chairs not only as a functional object but rather as a study of body, shape and language. Her work incorporates unconventional design techniques that stretch far from traditional craftsmanship. Exploring new techniques and material driven processes such as metal forming and non-traditional upholstery, she builds on similar profiles and repetitive patterns in the aim of creating something timeless. Jaclyn’s work has been published in Arcipelago, Modern House, Dezeen, Vogue and Luncheon magazine. Represented by The Radford Gallery & Fels World gallery in London UK.
