About the Item

Gigi Sabadin “Peota” dining chair, Italy, 1971. The Gigi Sabadin "Peota" dining chairs for Stilwood, designed in 1971, showcase the great craftsmanship capacity of the artist. Crafted from curved, lacquered plywood, the chair's design appears deceptively simple. It resembles a classic four-legged chair from the front, but the seat and backrest are a single, curved plywood piece perfectly contoured to fit the human body. The front legs are angled, while the rear legs feature smoothly rounded feet, both made of shaped ash wood. It's worth The chairs draw their name from the traditional Venetian boat "Peota," which was once used for regattas and leisure, adorned with elaborate decorations and propelled by eight rowers in costume. This connection is reflected in the chair's elegant, fluid form, reminiscent of the boat's graceful movement through water. Sabadin's work is known for its originality and craftsmanship, particularly his woodworking expertise, despite his metalworking background. As well as other renowned artists of the age, such as Giuseppe Rivadossi in Italy and Pierre Chapo in France, his designs emphasize functionality and innovation, reflecting a minimalist approach focused on technical and formal invention. The "Peota" chair, like much of his work, demonstrates an understanding of materials and aesthetic research that result in modern yet timeless forms. We accurately check the quality of every object.
