Tonietta Chair leather black / Enzo Mari, 1985

Enzo Mari is considered one of the greatest exponents of Italian and even global design. He has created countless iconic pieces. Enzo Mari favors archetypal forms, on which he grafts his talent and futuristic vision.

Designed in 1985, the Tonietta Chair has won numerous prestigious awards, including the 1987 Compasso d'Oro and the 1st Chair Prize at the 1986 New York International Design Fair. It is exhibited in the most prestigious museums: Fondazione Triennale Design Museum (Milano), Thessaloniki Design Museum (Saloniki), The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, ADI Design Museo (Milano).

Simple and minimalist in appearance, the Tonietta chair reveals a great attention to detail that transforms this humble seat into an intelligent piece of furniture: the slender Base, legs and curved backrest are specially designed to offer great comfort and easy posture, without compromising on aesthetics and style.

With its atypical lines and great lightness, this chair stood out from the crowd from the moment it was launched, and enjoyed real commercial success thanks to its radically different treatment. Unmistakable thanks to its semi-circular backrest, Tonietta ennobles the notion of industrial aesthetics characteristic of the 80s. Simple, graphic, sophisticated and light, it combines pure form with quality materials. The saddle leather seat and back give it a precious look.
