Club 44 Dining Chair - 1957
Brand:
Agapecasa
Originally designed in 1957 for the renovated Club 44 in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, it is a decidedly architectural armchair, still strikingly individual and totally functional. Fully stable, surprisingly comfortable, severe but with character, its seat design derives from the “Cavalletto” system, of which it is an ideal but more unusual continuation.

Angelo Mangiarotti
Italian architect and furniture designer
Angelo Mangiarotti was an architect, industrial designer and sculptor whose work is defined by structural clarity, material honesty and a quiet but powerful sense of form.
He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and graduated in the late 1940s, entering practice just as Italian architecture and design were redefining themselves after the war. From the 1950s onward, he developed parallel careers in architecture, product design and teaching, working with leading Italian manufacturers. Across all these fields, the constant was an insistence that structure and material themselves give the piece its character.
