About
The chair is entirely madeof natural beech. As a planned choice, it was not painted or treated with paints that could have altered the beauty of natural wood. The assembly of unique pieces is carefully done, enhancing the continuity of the wood grains.
The first Produzione Privata chair, a folding chair entirely made of natural beech, was created in 1993. Only one element contained its back and rear legs, another contained the seat, and two flexible arms assembled them to form the front feet.
Michele De Lucchi
Italian designer (1951 - )
Michele De Lucchi (1951) was born in Ferrara, Italy. During the 80’s he designed lamps and furniture for the most important Italian and European companies. Whether it is an object, a piece of furniture or a graphic design, his approach to the project is – global and transversal – in order to determine an integrated architectural system. “Produzione Privata” is the brand of objects and furniture made in collaboration with craft companies. For Unifor, in particular, he designed the MDL, Secretello and Hatch system.
After graduating in architecture in Florence, he consolidated his working relationship with Olivetti in the 1980s thanks to Ettore Sottsass, who had entrusted De Lucchi with the design project for office furniture systems for the Synthesis division. The Tolomeo table lamp, designed for Artemide in 1987, earned him his first Oro-ADI Compass. The second will be awarded to him for the Olivetti’s Artjet 10 printer. In recent years, he has developed numerous architectural projects, both private and public, and has organized major exhibitions.
