Signs of wear and soiling, cracks and chipping in the upholstery. Material loss on the front edges, particularly near a scroll, revealing the polyurethane.
With this Capitello armchair, Studio 65 showcases the pinnacle of conceptual art applied to furniture. This 1983 creation, numbered 19/500, reflects the maturity of radical Italian design, which transforms classical architecture into subversive furniture.
The armchair takes its shape from an inverted Ionic capital: the volutes frame a wide, curved seat. This transposition of a fragment of ancient architecture into a soft seat is characteristic of Studio 65’s radical Italian design.
