Sly Sofa by Italo Pertichini For Adrenalina

Sly Sofa by for Adrenalina

The full curves and wraparound form define the design of Sly. Sly is available in two versions: with low back or high back, opening like a shell to welcome someone seeking a cozy corner or an oasis of privacy. Both versions are characterized by two small, “magical windows” – cracks that open to the outside world, but that retain discretion and privacy, closed with colored strings that break the severity of the lines with their lacing.

#18 of the Big Sofa Book.

Symmetric Armchair 908 by Paul McCobb

Symmetric Armchair 908 by Paul McCobb

This Symmetric Armchair is reissued by Ralph Puccini

Paul McCobb (1917-1969) was one of the leading contemporary furniture designers in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Over twenty years, he designed an impressive range of multi-functional furniture, accessories and textiles as well as many notable interior design projects. McCobb’s design aesthetic is simplicity of form with a lack of ornamentation. Inspired by his New England upbringing and influenced by the Shaker design principles, McCobb combined slender lines with sculptural forms. Best known for his furniture designs, McCobb also acted as design consultant for many leading corporations including Singer, Alcoa, Goodyear and Columbia Records. McCobb was the recipient of MoMA’s Good Design Award five times between 1950-1955 and the Philadelphia Museum of Arts’ Contribution to Better Design Award in 1959.

Cloak Chair by Anastasia Nysten


Cloak Chair by Anastasia Nysten

Cloak refers to a clothing piece used for traveling, resembling a cape, worn over the shoulders to protect the vulnerable human body from the environment.

The Cloak Chair is an adaptable chair made to suit a wide variety of spaces and environments. Able to change its cloak-like covering that sits on the chair’s shoulders, it is a chameleon that is able to blend seamlessly into multiple contexts. It is related to transient lifestyles and the way we intuitively learn to adapt to different environments.

The Cloak chair wears three types of cloaks — the Outdoor version, made with durable fabric; the Winter version, made out of soft, comfortable felt; and lastly the Formal setting, made out of luxurious leather.

Cloak Chair was part of House of Today’s 3rd Biennial show entitled Jungle Protocol at the Yacht Club Beirut, December 2016.

Leather work done in collaboration with Johnny Farah.

Actually the Troll Chair of Anastasia Nysten is #31 of the 999 Armchairs Book series, but I had featured the Troll Chair alreay in 2018, hence I feature her Cloak Chair here.
