Sedia in frassino scomponibile “683”

Reason for the award:

Among the countless recently produced chairs in which there is all too often an excess of formal imagination and facile imitations, this chair is an example of real "originality" on the part of the author. In the formal discipline of the chair, a predominantly functional object, through its flawless execution this product is evidence of modern technical procedures (shaped solid wood and moulded plywood) with a "structural composition" of the elements that make this "piece", to which the “La Rinascente Compasso d'Oro 1954” award has been given, simultaneously an example of formal essentiality and structural composition and thereby turning it into a genuine “typical model.
