Mezzadro stool with chromium-plated steel stem, seat in yellow lacquered metal and footrest in beech wood.
Designed by Achille and … more Mezzadro stool with chromium-plated steel stem, seat in yellow lacquered metal and footrest in beech wood.
Designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni in 1957 and produced by Zanotta in 1970s.
In 1970 Zanotta put the “springy metal seat”, metaphorically named “Mezzadro” into production, that the brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed in 1957 (together with the Sella seat, in production since 1983) for the exhibition “Shapes and colours in today’s homes” organized in Villa Olmo in Como.
Mezzadro is a loud and clear message of freedom to define the domestic spatial environment.
“with this rather unusual homage name, the object brings to mind Neo Vanguardism, from the provocative nature of Arte Povera to the irony of Pop Art. Like a work by Duchamp, the assembly of craft-based and industrial components holdstogether: the farming world in the sheet metal seat and the steel crossbow, the cycling world in the fixing pin and the nautical one in the beech wood crosspiece.”
