Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli fabric bench Pierre Frey 1970

This bench, designed by giancarlo piretti for anonima castelli, was made in italy in the mid-70s. It consists of three seats mounted on a metal structure with oak legs, connected together by steel elements. The seats have been reupholstered with a pierre frey fabric with abstract patterns forming a geometric composition in bright colors. The association between piretti's creation and pierre frey fabric gives a singular aura to this piece, which will become a central element in any decorative arrangement. The structure has been completely restored, and is in superb condition. Giancarlo piretti (1940) is an italian furniture manufacturer renowned in the fields of interior design and industrial design. Joining castelli in the 1960s, he gained notoriety through his emblematic creations, notably the plia chair (1968), acclaimed internationally and recipient of prestigious awards. In collaboration with emilio ambasz in the late 1970s, he also created award-winning seating systems such as vertebra and dorsal. His innovative designs, inspired by the principles of simplicity and functionality of the bauhaus movement, endure today and confirm his influence on the world of contemporary design.
