50 - Studio 65

Studio 65 Capitello Sculptural armchair “Guflex” expanded polyurethane with differentiated support, covered with “Guflac” elastic paint Gufram edition, numbered 19/500 Date of creation: 1983 H82 W120 D174 cm Signs of wear and soiling, cracks and chipping in the upholstery. Material loss on the front edges, particularly near a scroll, revealing the polyurethane. With this Capitello armchair, Studio 65 showcases the pinnacle of conceptual art applied to furniture. This 1983 creation, numbered 19/500, reflects the maturity of radical Italian design, which transforms classical architecture into subversive furniture. The armchair takes its shape from an inverted Ionic capital: the volutes frame a wide, curved seat. This transposition of a fragment of ancient architecture into a soft seat is characteristic of Studio 65’s radical Italian design.
