Giancarlo Piretti designed these Alky chairs for Castelli in 1969. Sculptural, fantastic modern design in the original blue fabric in very good vintage condition. Representative of the Italian 1970’s glamorous design period. Castelli produced it in Italy. The soft elements of the chair are made of foam rubber and it has an aluminum frame. The item is in excellent condition. The “Alky” is known to be a multifunctional chair, which perfectly combines comfort, design and modularity. The design of Alky allows for individual use, but it is also possible to combine similar chairs.
Born in Bologna in 1940, Giancarlo Piretti studied at the Instituo Statale d’Arte and later worked as an interior designer creating interior furniture and office furniture.
He stayed with Castelli for 12 years and while he worked on various projects, his innovations were particularly visible in seating. He has received awards such as the UBD, the ASID, the Compasso s’Oro and the G-Mark.
