Space Age Italian Stool With Wheels And Swivel Seat
About the Item
We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we aim to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects.
This iconic and original stool comes with wheels. The shell is made of injection-molded polyester reinforced with fiberglass. Underneath the base is a round wooden plate, on which four wheels are mounted, allowing for easy movement while seated. The shell's column is attached to the underside of the seat with an iron plate secured by screws. The padded seat, upholstered in durable velvet with a pleasant orange hue, features a swivel mechanism for added functionality and is fully removable.
The stool was produced between 1970 and 1975 by a small company located on the outskirts of Milan, Italy, where artisans were inspired by the Space Age style. This aesthetic movement originated at the dawn of the Space Age, commonly linked to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957. Space Age design reflected society's optimism and confidence in the technologies of the 1950s through the 1970s, manifesting in a variety of styles characterized by rounded forms, freedom of expression, lightness, and simplicity. Objects from that era often feature minimalist volumes inspired by geometric shapes, decisively breaking away from rationalist tradition. Fiberglass-reinforced polyester, also known as GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester), is a composite material that combines the properties of polyester with the strength of fiberglass. GRP is exceptionally durable due to this combination: the fiberglass provides mechanical strength and durability, making it stronger than polypropylene and often thicker than polycarbonate. It is highly resistant to impact and deformation and offers good resistance to chemicals and water. While it is lighter than metal, it is generally heavier than polypropylene. As mentioned earlier, our stool stands out for its "space-inspired" design, typical of that captivating era. With its simple, geometric style, it is an authentic piece of furniture that brings a unique atmosphere to any home. The stool is in good condition, we replaced the wheels with more robust and functional model. Measurements: diameter 40 cm, height 47 cm. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.
