About the Item

Topos is a chair designed in 1969 by Gruppo Dam, renowned for its innovative approach to design. The chair is characterized by a sturdy supporting structure made of metal tubing, elegantly folded into a flower shape at the base and finished with a polished chrome surface. This solid base supports the seat, crafted from thick Bulgarian leather, meticulously hand-stitched to ensure durability and quality. bibliography: Domus 481, 1969, p. d/478 - New furniture nue mobel, no. 10, ED. Herausgegeben Von Gerd Hatje, p. 12 - Italian book, Ed. Federlegno Milano, year 1972 Designers: In 1968, Gianni Pareschi, the G 14 (formed by Gianni Pareschi together with Roberto Ubaldi, Gianfranco Facchetti, Pino Pensotti and Umberto Orsoni), Ezio Didone and Alberto Colombi founded the Dam Group, an acronym for Designer Associati Milano. Together they brought to life a series of significant projects for the Busnelli Industrial Group-including Topos, Armadillo, Baffo, Zen, Mattress-also helping to shape the company's image through exhibition booth design and advertising campaigns. The group distinguished itself by its radical and visionary approach, often ahead of its time, proposing ideas and concepts outside the traditional box. In addition to furniture design, the Dam Group also designed original ceramic objects-such as tiles, vases, ashtrays-for the historic Cedit factory. In 1970 they also made a series of models for a renowned Venetian company specializing in chandeliers and blown glass objects. The Dam Group signed several ideological and programmatic manifestos on design and organized a large exhibition dedicated to their work at the Domus Center in Milan.
