TACO CHAIR

Design Alessandro Stabile, 2022

Innovation is at the forefront as the Taco soft chair marks the start of the partnership between Alessandro Stabile and LaCividina. Stepping away from the traditional contents and production systems of padded furniture, the ground-breaking design pulls apart and adds a lighter touch not only to the materials but also to the manufacturing processes.

The Taco soft chair dissipates padding and makes it lighter, stripping away the traditional wooden and polyurethane foam structure. Consisting solely of two layers of natural felt with a slender steel core inside the seat, the body is flat when it is produced and it is given a three-dimensional form when it is folded onto the frame, which holds the edges together thanks to precision milling.

A natural balance is struck between soft and clean-cut forms, in a versatile, ergonomic design that is suitable for both the home and contract markets.

DESIGNER

ALESSANDRO STABILE

The Alessandro Stabile Design Studio specializes in industrial design and art direction.

We interact with firms to develop ideas into an effective design process with the aim of creating products that stand out for their innovation, ethics and elegance.

Questioning all that is certain, incentivising technological research to go beyond the current limits and exploring practical improvements, these are the methods for creating original products that outclass what already exists.Ultimately it is about finding a formal synthesis that gives a distinctive slant to the ordinary.

We design products with the sole objective of making them people-centred, to be used expressing their full potential, interpreting the contemporary world in aesthetic terms, respecting the environment and the people who come in contact with them.

Chairs, handles, air purifiers, back packs, smart pens, suitcases, electronic locks, small tables, scissors, padlocks, heated towel rails and stools are some of the types of products that we have designed: the multidisciplinary approach is a fundamental value of the studio which makes it possible to always have a versatile view of design.

We also collaborate with companies in defining a strategic vision, to build the brands by outlining a high quality growth path which impacts the product catalogue, identity and communication.
