An iconic "Spaghetti" chair designed by Giandomenico Belotti for Alias, one of the defining seating designs of late 20th-century Italian Modernism. Introduced in 1979, the chair is celebrated for its elegant simplicity, lightweight construction, and innovative use of industrial materials.

The design features a slender chrome-plated steel frame supporting the seat and back with hand-wrapped PVC cord. The rhythmic horizontal lines of the tensioned cord create a striking visual lightness while offering exceptional comfort and flexibility. Belotti's masterful balance of engineering and minimalism results in a chair that is both highly functional and sculpturally refined.

Recognized for its timeless design, the Spaghetti Chair has been included in the permanent collections of major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Its understated elegance makes it equally suitable for dining rooms, offices, patios, and contemporary living spaces, seamlessly complementing Mid-Century Modern, Minimalist, Industrial, and Modern interiors.

An enduring icon of Italian design, this chair exemplifies the innovation and craftsmanship that have made Alias furniture highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
