Opinion Ciatti Stacking chair White Metal. Dimensions: L 48.5 x Depth 51 cm
x H 84.5 cm – Seat: H 48.5 cm. As the name suggests, Primasedia (= first
chair) could be the archetype of the first seat designed in human history!
Created by Italian designer Marcantonio, this chair has slender legs with
irregular organic lines, like delicate tree branches. But don’t be fooled by
this apparent fragility; the robust steel from which the Primasedia chair is
made, makes it perfectly stable, solid and durable. The irregular, imperfect
lines of the base have a primitive style that links past and present. The
slightly curved, soft lines break with our very strict, linear everyday
environments. This creation releases a positive energy mixed with the sensuality
of biomorphic forms. As modelled by the hand of man, the strange organic forms
of the base are halfway between the plant, animal and human world. Primasedia
intrigues and surprises: this piece of furniture touches our sensual side,
retaining a certain truth, a human, imperfect side. Designer Marcantonio on
Primasedia: “It’s a project I really like because it combines three
aspects that I consider equally important: characterful design, innate
elegance, and a touch of irony.” This creation is part of the capsule
collection “Atavica” created by Italian designer Marcantonio. This symbolic
collection brings together objects with a “primitive” morphology. Here,
Marcantonio explores the relationship between Man and his environment, from
prehistoric times to the present day. How has the relationship between man and
his environment changed over the millennia? What distinguishes the interaction
between today's man and the space in which he moves, from that which was
created between the first inhabitants of the planet and the nature that
surrounded them? The Atavicase collection includes the Cielo and Terra rugs,
Primasedia chair, Selce mirror and Ramo coat stand. All these objects share a
powerful objective: to be the 2.0 expression of ancient materials and
symbols.
