About the Item

"Baffo" chair by Gianni Pareschi and Ezio Didone for Busnelli, Italy, 1969. Baffo" Lounge chair by Gianni Pareschi and Ezio Didone for Busnelli, Italy, 1969 Black leather. Chromed tubular steel frame and saddle-stitched leather seat. The thick leather seat is suspended in the frame. It gives the chair all the characteristics of a sling chair. This iconic Baffo chair was designed for Busnelli by Ezio Didone and Gianni Pareschi. These two designers were also part of the progressive designer collective Gruppo DAM (Designers Associati Milano). "Ezio Didone (1939) graduated in Industrial Design from Politecnico di Milano in 1967. After working for Gianfranco Frattini for some time, he opened his own studio in Milano in 1970. In addition to Industrial Design, he was involved in graphic design and architecture. Besides his various designs for Busnelli, Didone has worked for many leading companies during the last 50 years, such as Arteluce-Flos, Bardelli, Felicerossi, RIMA, Santambrogio De Berti, and Valenti. Noteworthy in this respect is also his collaboration with the lighting company Relco, for which he not only designed numerous products, but also the corporate identity, the head office and various exhibition stands. Gianni Pareschi (1940-2017) also studied at the Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated in 1965. Soon after, he developed into one of the protagonists of Italian Radical Design. In addition to the Baffo, he was (partly) responsible for iconic chairs such as the Fiocco and the Libro. These chairs, which are both in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, are often mentioned in the same breath as the designs of groups like Archizoom and Superstudio. In the 1970s Pareschi headed Studio G14's Industrial Design Center and was closely involved in the reorganization and professionalization of the ADI (the professional association of Italian Industrial designers). In the course of time, Pareschi developed into a specialist in the field of kitchen design and could count companies such as Boffi, Sarila and Scavolini among his clients. "
