ABOUT PRODUCTID 8405
The Penelope chair pair, designed by Charles Pollock for Castelli in the 1980s, exemplifies Italian design that merges technical innovation with strong, geometric form. The chairs feature a fine, perforated mesh in a deep, matte black covering both the seat and backrest. The frame, crafted from tubular chromed steel, introduces a cool silver contrast, emphasizing a contemporary aesthetic. The sled base underscores stability, while the integrated armrests, finished with black plastic or rubberized grips, ensure comfort and continuity of line. The proportions are balanced—wide seats and a slightly reclined backrest address ergonomic needs, complemented by precisely finished welds and seamless joints that reflect Italian craftsmanship. The chairs are in good vintage condition, showing natural signs of age such as minor mesh wear and subtle scuffs on the metal, with no significant damage or repairs.These chairs echo the voice of the 1980s—a period when Italian designers boldly explored new materials and striking lines. The perforated mesh breathes with the air of modern offices and open interiors, while the chromed steel speaks of a fascination with technology poised to reshape daily life. Every detail reveals the era's commitment to both function and refined simplicity. The form—light yet assertive—evokes the atmosphere of Italian interiors, where design became a testament to progress.The Penelope chairs could be paired with a minimalist glass or metal table to highlight their technical heritage. They work well in both contemporary living rooms and office spaces reminiscent of the 1980s. It is worth combining them with geometric lighting or contrasting accessories in shades of grey and white to emphasize their graphic silhouette. In an eclectic interior
