Customizable Zanotta Primate Leather Kneeling-Stool by Achille Castiglioni

About the Item

Kneeling-stool. Base in black painted polystyrene. Flexible polyurethane upholstery. 18/8 stainless steel leg. Cover in Ecofire or leather 95. New ways to shape the objects in our lives As designers in these parts of the world, we have been lucky enough to have some great masters that showed us new ways to shape the objects in our lives, after having conceived – with sensitivity, curiosity and enthusiasm for experimenting – new possible ways of working by looking at the almost spontaneous gesture or natural behaviours of people, as they talk or write or wait, or when they look for a more comfortable and less rigid position by moving restlessly. Primate, maybe based on a memory of his Japanese friends sitting on the floor, leaning on their knees and supported by their heels, who always effortlessly achieved the perfect posture (seiza), while of course not forgetting those who always prefer to sit on a soft support.

Zanotta Sella Bicycle Pink Stool by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
By Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Zanotta
Located in New York, NY
Seat. Black saddle of racing bicycle, pink lacquered steel column. Cast-iron base. Dynamic balance Irony and attention to the functions are the assumptions on which ‘jugglers’ Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni based their participation in the exhibition Colori e forme nella casa d’oggi, at Villa Olmo, Como, in 1957. This was one of the founding experiences of the Italian design culture, where, as if by magic, a real racing bicycle saddle (Sella) appeared, mounted on a stainless steel column supported by a heavy hemispherical base, capable of a ‘dynamic balance’. The object was designed as a ‘telephone stool...
