The concept centers on a structural interplay between a rigid, polished chrome tubular steel frame and the soft, tactile quality of the cushions. The name, meaning \"lace,\" describes the unique method of securing the upholstery within the frame using straps, a move that exposed the structural skeleton rather than concealing it, creating a sense of transparency and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAulenti's approach transformed these seats from merely decorative objects into a functional, modular system, consistent across both the armchairs and the sofa. By juxtaposing industrial materials with artisanal assembly, she created a timeless silhouette that remains as aesthetically relevant today as it was in the mid-sixties. This \"Stringa\" set stands as a testament to Aulenti's ability to marry industrial pragmatism with refined elegance, solidifying its status as a highly sought-after piece of Italian design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57593356124533,"sku":null,"price":27904.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/raw-006_71664297-9a85-4ca8-a01e-3e2a57e1c743.jpg?v=1789988011","url":"https:\/\/modernabgallery.com\/products\/gae-aulenti-stringa-living-room-set-for-poltronova-1962-set-of-3","provider":"Modernab ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
