The story
Beautiful pair of Italian armchairs designed by Carlo De Carli in 1966, and produced by Sormani in the 1960s and 1970s. This pair reflects Carlo De Carli’s vision of furniture as an extension of space, functional yet expressive. Named Sella, the Italian word for saddle, this armchair draws inspiration from its name, an open, elevated backrest held by leather straps, evoking the suspended tension and lightness of equestrian design. The structures are made of solid brazilian rosewood, with beautiful brass details and craftsmanship. The seat, backrest and armrest, feature high-density foam cushions with sharp lines, providing a very comfortable seating experience. These armchairs have been fully restored, revarnished, seating foam replaced, and reupholstered with a very soft alpaca velvet fabric from Dedar.
About Carlo De Carli
Carlo De Carli (1910-1999) was an Italian architect, designer and teacher, a central figure of postwar Milanese design and a long time professor at the Politecnico di Milano. His model 683 chair for Cassina received the Compasso d'Oro in 1954. His furniture, in solid and bent wood, brass and glass, is known for structural elegance and fine joinery. Collectors look for his work for Cassina and Sormani in original condition.
