'Penelope' chairs by Charles Pollock for Castelli from the 1980s

Designer: Charles Pollock. Dimensions: H83 X W60 X D62 cm. Color: Black. Materials: Metal. Style: Design. In 1982, designer Charles Pollock created a true design classic: Penelope. The American designer developed a revolutionary chair for Castelli, both technically and formally: a sled base made of steel wire supports a breathable seat consisting of a steel wire frame covered in synthetic resin. The elastic effect of the base is enhanced by an integrated polyurethane tube that acts as a shock absorber. The armrest covers are made of the same material, providing additional comfort. With Penelope, Pollock brought a new form of seating to life. This is why this timeless classic continues to enjoy renown in the world of design today. Due to its shape, the chair also offers flexibility with its almost cantilevered base. Very comfortable to sit in. Set of 6. Good condition consistent with age and use, and a beautiful patina on the metal.
