Gino Carollo - Suite of four “Delfy” chairs - c. 1995 - Italy

Absolute purity, in vibrant red. There are pieces we forget as soon as we see them, others that stay with us. Days later, we find ourselves revisiting the curve of the backrest, the way the light plays across the edge, the red that never fades. They don't succumb to trends: they transcend them. They don't claim to be iconic; they rise to that status naturally, with the quiet strength of self-evidence. They imitate nothing, ape no one. They already embody what others will never become. Everything in these chairs is contained in a few masterful lines: two chrome arcs, two functional surfaces, a single unit. Nothing superfluous, nothing to add. Everything stems from a single requirement: to support, to welcome, to endure. The answer is crystal clear: two chromed steel tubes, which stabilize without adding weight; An injected polycarbonate shell, dyed throughout in a deep red that withstands impacts and resists chipping. The seat lowers slightly, positioning you perfectly. The backrest flexes gently, providing support. Unquestionably attributed to Gino Carollo (1965-) for Ciacci Kreaty, the Delfy embodies that rare category of creations that never betray their era, while simultaneously transcending it. The 1990s are evident in the gleam of the polished chrome, in the saturated red shell, in the geometric purity that flirts with graphic design. But they are not confined to that time: these lines could emerge tomorrow, carrying the same contemporary relevance. Everything here is just right. The curve of the backrest, the controlled flex, the overall visual lightness—nothing that hasn't been carefully considered, adjusted, and tested. - Dimensions (cm): 80 (H) X 52 (W) X 54.5 (D) X 45.5 (Seat H) Weight (each): 6.5 kg.
