This Alky armchair was created by Giancarlo Piretti for the renowned Castelli design house. This Italian designer studied at the Instituto Statale d'Arte before beginning his career at Anonima Castelli. For over two decades, he has created various furniture lines, including his Plia chair, Alky armchair, and Dorsal, which have become iconic pieces of design. His creations are both functional and aesthetic and have been widely recognized throughout the design world. "Alky" is typical of 1970s design, part of the Space Age movement. This movement emerged in the 1960s in response to the space race and is characterized by the use of organic forms and new materials to create a utopian futuristic aesthetic. It has influenced many fields, from fashion to architecture and popular culture. This armchair is designed with a solid aluminum frame. It rests on a metal base for good stability. Its covering is made of fabric and has defects such as burns (fireplace embers) as well as light transmission. However, the structure is in perfect condition and the fabric has no tears (fabric stretched at all points).
