the pellicano model stands out for its bold, sculptural, and instantly recognizable profile: a high, rounded backrest, a cantilevered seat, and a dramatic presence that transforms any space.

the chairs are made of wood painted in a vibrant shade of glossy red, a color choice that enhances their shape and captures the eye, and are currently unique on the market. The structural elements and base supports are made of chromed steel, intentionally left exposed to emphasize the industrial and experimental nature of the project. The exposed bolts and technical details reinforce the functional aesthetic and lend a decidedly contemporary and avant-garde touch.

designed for both offices and visually striking private spaces, the pellicano chairs are perfect for modern living rooms, galleries, architecture studios, or anyone seeking a piece of certified italian design. The original "arrmet designer l. Saccardo" tag, certifying its authenticity and provenance, is still present.

a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of historical design: these chairs are not just everyday objects, but true functional sculptures.

excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of use on the paint and light traces of aging on the metal details, consistent with the age and authenticity of the pieces.
