Claudio Salocchi “Napoleone” Dining Chairs for Sormani, 1972, Set of 4
Description
Claudio Salocchi “Napoleone” dining chairs for Sormani, leather and wood, Italy, 1972, set of four.
These captivating “Napoleone” chairs, made in 1972 by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, exemplify this balance with exquisite finesse. Salocchi’s vision manifests itself in an intriguingly unconventional base. Forget the expected four legs - instead, a striking, blunt, angular foundation forms the starting point. From this base, a single, central perpendicular leg with a rectangular surface rises to support the seat. The backrest, a triangular marvel, takes a graceful turn with its subtle bend. All these elements, crafted from polished black lacquered wood, exude a sense of unyielding strength and sophisticated modernity. These Napoleone chairs are a paradigm to Salocchi’s design philosophy. They embody the potential for bold aesthetics to coexist seamlessly with functional excellence. A perfect addition to any space seeking a touch of unconventional elegance.
