About the Item

Menilio Taro "811" minimalist easy chair for Cinova, black leather and steel, Italy, 1970 Designed in 1970 by Menilio Taro for Cinova, the “811” easy chair exemplifies the restrained elegance and functional clarity of Italian minimalism at the close of the decade. Defined by clean horizontal lines and generous proportions, the piece features a low-slung seat and backrest upholstered in black leather, supported by a discreet chrome frame that enhances its architectural lightness. Despite its compact scale, the easy chair preserves the geometric rigor and sensual comfort that characterize the “811” series. The deep cushions integrate seamlessly with the structure, offering a tactile experience of softness and support. The chromed base—sleek and minimal—punctuates the form with a subtle graphic presence. Comparable in spirit to the work of Vico Magistretti and Mario Bellini, the chair reflects a broader shift in Italian design towards modularity, adaptability, and material integrity. It also resonates with the understated radicalism of Claudio Salocchi—another designer tied to Cinova—who shared Taro’s interest in essential forms and domestic clarity. A rare example of post-rationalist aesthetics, the “811” easy chair demonstrates how comfort and elegance can emerge from proportion and restraint rather than ornament.
