About the Item
Claudio Salocchi “Napoleone” dining chair for Sormani, cognac leather and wood, Italy, 1972, set of two
This captivating “Napoleone” chair, designed in 1972 by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, exemplifies the designer’s pursuit of balance between expressive form and functional clarity. Departing from conventional typologies, the chair rests on a bold architectural base: rather than four legs, a single central support emerges from a blunt, angular structure, rising to meet the seat through a crisp rectangular plane. The backrest—triangular in form—introduces a subtle curve, softening the composition with unexpected grace.
Crafted in polished black lacquered wood, the chair exudes a sense of sculptural precision and modern strength. It encapsulates Salocchi’s vision of design as an intellectual and spatial discipline, where radical aesthetics and ergonomic function coexist seamlessly.
The item is available in New York.

Gigi Sabadin “Pala” dining chairs for Emme, wood, Italy, 1973, set of two
Designed in 1973 by Italian architect and designer Gigi Sabadin, the “Pala” chairs embody the radical experimentation of the Italian Seventies. Their structure reduces the archetype of a chair to an essential gesture: two vertical planes intersected by a suspended circular seat in woven straw. The stark black lacquered wood, resting on a double-base support, highlights the tension between geometric rigor and the organic tactility of natural fiber.
Sabadin’s design language resonates with the conceptual explorations of Archizoom, Superstudio, and Gianni Pettena, where furniture transcends function to become a spatial and architectural statement. The radical minimalism of the “Pala” also recalls the self-reduction principles of Enzo Mari...
