OSVALDO BORSANI (Varedo 1911- Milan 1985) for Tecno. Chaise-longue P40, design 1955. Structure in black metal, original red fabric upholstery. Brass details and handles. With Tecno logo. Measurements: 90 x 70 x 129 cm; 40 cm (seat height). The versatile and comfortable P40 armchair was designed by Osvaldo Borsani in 1955 for Tecno. It features a multitude of conveniences: the chair can be adjusted in more than 400 positions; the backrest can be reclined to different angles, the headrest moves up and down, the flexible rubber armrests can be folded, and the chair has a folding legrest with extendable metal footrest. Trained from a very young age in the family furniture company, Osvaldo Borsani participated in 1933 in the V Milan Triennale, with the "Minimal House" project, which was awarded the silver medal. After graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, he met and collaborated with important artists such as Lucio Fontana, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu, Roberto Crippa, Fausto Melotti, and Arnaldo Pomodoro. In 1953, together with his brother Fulgencio, he founded Tecno, a project to which he would dedicate his entire life. His first industrial design works were the P40 variable-tilt armchair (1953) and the D70 sofa with invertible seat. In 1968 he created the Graphis office system (together with Eugenio Gerli, which was distributed worldwide in a million copies), thanks to which Tecno became an internationally renowned manufacturer of office design products. At the end of the sixties, Osvaldo Borsani created the Tecno Project Center with Marco Fantoni and Valeria Borsani.
