Piegreco Chair By Tobias Scarpa
Piegreco Chair by Tobias Scarpa for Tacchini (d.1959)
Solid open-pore American walnut
Dimensions: 55 x 40.5 x 64 h cm
The Pigreco chair is a testament to the balance of elements. Its form embodies the interplay of solids and voids, the harmony of straight lines and curves. Every detail serves a purpose, creating a sense of spaciousness in an otherwise static object. The dynamic triangle motif, anchored by the converging rear legs, provides stability without sacrificing lightness. This iconic piece, Tobia Scarpa's 1959 graduation project at the University of Venice, marks the Italian architect's debut into the world of design. Tacchini's exclusive re-edition honours this legacy, offering the Pigreco in a selection of fine woods and upholstery, each bearing the mark of the great architect.
