This Postmodern chair was designed by the acclaimed architect and designer Alessandro Mendini (1931–2019) for Studio Alchimia in 1983. This chair balances colorblocking with geometric forms for a distinct theatricality. Constructed from flat panels of lacquered wood, it pairs a towering, inverted trapezoidal backrest in blue with a white squared seat panel atop two undulating, sculptural black side panels. Mendini designed these objects as "Timeless Objects" intended to evoke emotional memories and artistic friction through color and geometry. This piece stands as a seminal example of the 1980s Postmodern movement and is highly sought after by collectors of Radical Italian design.
Good overall original condition with some wear to the lacquer mostly on the edges.
