Miniforms Sedia Pelleossa

The Pelleossa chair is a modern and conceptual version of a classic of Italian pre-industrial design, the Chiavari chair. Its name evokes the lightness and simplicity of its slim and robust structure. Presented in a first version in 2013, it has now been revisited using river straw, weaving it with a checkered weave that guarantees sturdiness and excellent weight distribution on the seat.
Pelleossa is made of flamed, black or walnut-stained oak , combined with traditional materials for the seat such as leather and river straw, and available with or without armrests.

He works in close collaboration with the artisans, careful to personally control all phases of product development and being passionate about the problems of the project, in particular those that refer to wood and craftsmanship. In the same years he worked and collaborated with the model maker and luthier Francesco Rivolta. In 2007 he participated for the first time in the SaloneSatellite with the “Quadrato” table which went into production and was selected for the permanent collection of Cosmit. In 2009 he met Michele De Lucchi with whom he began an ongoing collaboration.
