Grassi&Bianchi ‘pasqualina’ chair for Enrico Pellizzoni set/4

Grassi&Bianchi studio, founded in 1984 from the architect Sergio Bianchi with his wife, is engaged mainly in building trade, from planning to restoration of private and public buildings. The pleasure of being designer comes also from the creation of pieces of furniture. “I often long for the past when my studio was concerned with the planning of furniture like chairs, tables and writing desks. Unfortunately now we have no time to apply ourselves to this sector and probably the right partners are missing”.

Exactly like, some time ago, Enrico Pellizzoni was. “It was really a satisfying experience designing items that Enrico Pellizzoni covered with leather with an invaluable and deep knowledge of the material. We wanted to design items made in leather with a great aesthetic value; leather was a material whose beauty was still difficult to understand”. Enrico Pellizzoni represented the occasion to plan pieces of furniture of a simple elegance just drawing essential lines on a white sheet. “The market required items that could lay emphasis on a classic location as a modern atmosphere”.

The Pasqualina armchair is a result of this philosophy, the chair is a steel frame covered with leather. Lines in the design are also drawn in the beautiful stitching, in those positions on the chair were it gets it’s own high quality attitude. Real design icon, specially in this black leather covering.
