About the Item
Designed in 2001 by Hannes Wettstein for Molteni
C, the Alfa chairs stand out through a construction reduced to only two elements: one forming the backrest and rear legs, the other shaping the seat and extending into the front legs.
Here presented in a rare silver finish, they are made of SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound), a polyester resin and fiberglass composite originally developed for the automotive industry. The material ensures strength, lightness and precision, while the metallic surface enhances their sculptural and contemporary presence.
Awarded the ICFF Editors Award in New York in 2001, they embody an audacious vision of early 21st-century Italian design.
Italy, 2001.
