Digamma Armchair
Price starting from € 5.630,00*
*Price valid for the version with upholstery in fabric Gabriel Step - legs in black metal and feet in polished brass (cod. DIGFA02).
The Digamma armchair by Santa&Cole, designed by Ignazio Gardella, figures almost like an intruder in the catalog of the brand, famous all over the world for its lamps and for its collaborations with great Spanish designers. This Mid-Century piece by a Milanese architect, so refined and retro, however marries perfectly with the atmospheres proposed by Santa&Cole and with its production philosophy in which scrupulous re-editions for an audience of design connoisseurs find a lot of space. Originally designed by Gardella in 1957 for the Gavina brand, the Digamma armchair has a deliberately geometric layout and is based on two squared volumes upholstered in fabric that make up the seat and back, connected by two straps that also take on the function of armrests and which allow you to fix different sitting inclinations. The elongated feet turn outwards and recall those of a goose, creating an ironic touch that dilutes the rationalist rigidity of the composition.

Designed by
Ignazio Gardella
Ignazio Gardella (1905-1999) was one of the great Italian architects of the twentieth century. A versatile and impeccable professional, he has often played the role of liaison between field practice and academic theory, carried forward in almost thirty years of academic teaching at the IUAV in Venice. He began his career in the 1930s by inscribing himself in the current of Italian Rationalism, with iconic creations such as the anti-tubercular clinic in Alessandria. Gradually his design language becomes richer and is also linked to the experiences of Lombard neoclassicism, allowing him in the post-war period to give life to works such as the Olivetti canteen in Ivrea, the PAC in Milan (which he would later reconstruct exactly as it was in the 90, after it was destroyed in a mafia attack) or the Casa delle Zattere in Venice, his most celebrated but also the most discussed work. His contribution to the world of design passed through Azucena, which he founded in 1947 together with Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua with the aim of putting their furniture into production. Some of his furnishings are now re-proposed by Molteni & C., MisuraEmme and Santa&Cole, while his lamps are re-edited by Tato Italia.
