Designed by Charles Pollock, the Penelope chair published by Castelli is a concentrate of ingenuity: a filigree of steel and resin that offers exceptional suspended comfort. A piece of pure, architectural, and timeless history. ■ A SCULPTURE OF WIRE AND STEEL The Merciers have selected this must-have piece from the 80s for you. With the Penelope chair, Charles Pollock reinvents seating by opting for a radical simplicity, far removed from the massive armchairs of his early days. Published by Castelli in Italy, it perfectly represents the sophisticated industrial design of that decade. ■ TECHNICAL FEAT The major innovation of the Penelope lies in its seat. Resting on a sled base made of chrome-plated steel wire with exceptional durability, the shell consists of a grid of steel wire coated with black synthetic resin. This choice offers a double advantage: the chair is visually ultra-light and completely breathable in use. The mesh adapts to the curve of the back for astonishing comfort. ■ EXACT DIMENSIONS Height: 80 cm. Width: 58 cm. Depth: 65 cm. ■ CONDITION Very good vintage condition. The chrome is brilliant and the synthetic mesh is perfectly preserved, without any breaks, still providing optimal support. ■ CUSTOM DELIVERY We offer careful international shipping.
