About the Item
A striking Post Modern chair by Samo, dating from the 1980s, embodies a bold design that strongly echoes the playful yet rigorous aesthetic of Ettore Sottsass. It features a black enameled metal frame and a distinctive U-shaped curved back. The round padded seat is comfortably upholstered in a gray textile, offering a sophisticated contrast to the graphic lines. This chair perfectly embodies the Memphis-era sensibility, where form, color, and material playfully challenge traditional design norms.
Samo was an established Italian furniture company active in the 1980s, producing postmodern stools and dining chairs. The company also has historical ties to collaborations with renowned designers, such as the "Carlo Scarpa Samo" tables. While not part of the official Memphis Group, Samo's designs powerfully reflect the vibrant and geometric styles of the Memphis movement, founded by Ettore Sottsass. The company's pieces, like this chair, are celebrated for their sleek design and comfortable seating, often featuring high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. They embody the Post Modern rejection of minimalist dogma, embracing expressive shapes and a unique juxtaposition of industrial materials with inviting textures, creating statement pieces that celebrate individuality and artistic flair.
In good condition, these chairs show wear consistent with their age and use, which only adds to their genuine character. Their robust construction ensures they remain as functional as they are visually compelling.
Ideal for dining, as a desk chair, or a standalone accent piece, this chair adds a vibrant touch of Post Modern history to any interior. Its unique silhouette and compelling materials make it a conversation starter, blending seamlessly with both eclectic and contemporary decors. Sold individually, with more chairs coming soon, offering the opportunity to build a custom set.
