About the Item

Pair of original "Spaghetti" chairs in red by Giandomenico Belotti (1922-2004) for Alias, Italy, circa 1979. One of his most popular and successful designs, it always amazed me how comfortable these are to sit in. Painted tubular steel frame with PVC strips forming seat and back. Originally entitled the "Odessa" chair, Belotti's design was rechristened while it was being exhibited in New York. Its new title, "Spaghetti", refers to the pasta-like strips of PVC used in its construction. Born in Bergamo in 1922. In 1938 he began working with the sculptor Marino Marini in Monza, and then took a degree at the IUAV in Venice, beginning his activity as an architect in the studios of Giulio Minoletti, Guglielmo Ulrich and Gaetano Scolari in Milan until 1950. From 1951 to 1979 he built his first works in Milan, on Via Varese and Via Volta, and was invited by the AIA (American Insitute of Architects) to participate in the R.S. Reynolds Memorial Award. During this period he designed residential complexes, public and industrial buildings. In 1979 he began to work with Alias, designing the Spaghetti Chair and the Spaghetti Stool which became part of the permanent collection of MoMA NY in 1984, and of the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein in Germany in 1994.
