Piero Palange, Werther Toffoloni - Germa - Armchair - Hoop G23

Armchair made with curved beech wood, in black lacquer, and cognac coloured leather Born in Udine in 1930, Toffoloni put his creativity at the service of Manzano's industry, which in the post-war reconstruction period was busy establishing itself on the foreign market. In the mid-1950s, together with Piero Palange, he set up the Ti. Pi Studio in Cormons, where the culture of design was combined with attention to the new structure of advertising graphics, photography and promotion. Extract of an interview with Werther Toffoloni: "Design is a serious matter. That's what Werther Toffoloni, who was at the forefront of the success of the Chair Triangle district, used to say". "You were in many respects a protagonist of the golden age of the Chair Triangle district. What was the key to success then and what should be done now to relaunch the sector? ". "My success and that of the Chair Triangle district are only partly related. I certainly contributed to the growth of this district, but the conditions were very unique.
