Piero Palange - G23 "Hoop" chair in Saddle black leather

The G23 "Hoop" chair by Piero Palange is a sculptural and architectural masterpiece, crafted from richly patinated black saddle leather. Characterised by its iconic circular backrest, this chair combines geometric precision with tactile warmth. The bold curvature of the backrest creates a visual frame and a protective cocoon, while the linear and rigorous base ensures perfect stability. Covered in thick black leather, the seat and backrest showcase exceptional craftsmanship and great robustness. The natural grain and subtle sheen of the leather add depth and character, softening the architectural silhouette of the chair and highlighting the authenticity of the material. Over time, the saddle leather has developed a refined patina, further enhancing its sculptural presence. Palange's work is characterised by an exploration of volumes, proportions, and structural purity, all of which are fully embodied in the G23. This chair is both a functional seat and a centrepiece, integrating harmoniously into modernist, postmodern, or contemporary interiors. A highly sought-after model of late 20th-century Italian design, the G23 "Hoop" chair illustrates a successful synthesis of geometry, materials, and comfort. Dimensions: Height 105 cm, Width 68 cm, Depth 80 cm, Seat Height 36 cm.
