Gae Aulenti for Zanotta
Description
Designed by Gae Aulenti and produced by Poltronova, are one of Aulenti’s most playful design pieces, with close features of the architectural structures she designed for Milan's Piazza Cadorna. The design was initially meant for outdoor use and merged functional aspects with pop attitude. This tubular chairs are also featured in the iconic movie 'La Piscine', for which Aulenti created them in bright yellow. This weathered version in an almost neon green has many traces of experience - a one of a kind.
Gae Aulenti (1927-2012) was an Italian architect. She is well-known for several large-scale museum projects, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Aulenti was at the forefront of Italian post-war design. Her design was meant to make connections with both history and future of Italy. The postmodern movement that Aulenti belonged to refused to design in the objective language of the modernists. This Avant Garde Postmodern design movement was the beginning of new type of Italian art, architecture and design.
