*Price valid for the version with upholstery in fabric cat. B and frame in grey anthracite ashwood (cod. OPI55).
The Pigreco chair by Tacchini, with its archetypal and timeless shapes, is the contemporary re-edition of the first project by one of the great names in Italian design, Tobia Scarpa, who conceived it in 1959 as a thesis after completing his studies at the IUAV from Venice. Scarpa collaborated with Tacchini in the re-edition process, choosing to keep the proportions of the chair and its constituent elements unchanged and to expand the range of materials and finishes in order to allow it to integrate better in contemporary environments. Apparently a three-legged chair, two front side and one rear central, Pigreco actually has four: the two rear legs are in fact side by side and connected at the bottom by a small crossbar. The wood of the legs is taken from the curved and enveloping backrest. The only padded element is the seat, covered in fabric or leather and supported by three wooden slats arranged in a triangular shape.

Designed by
Tobia Scarpa
Tobia Scarpa (1935-), son of the great architect Carlo Scarpa, has managed during his career to be credited with a strong artistic personality and not to remain confined to his father's shadow. He shared his entire sentimental and professional life with his wife Afra Bianchin (1937-2011), whom he met during architecture lessons at the IUAV in Venice, who co-signed with him all of his most important projects. The couple designed their first important projects for the company of Dino Gavina, a great friend of their father, which was later sold to Knoll. At the same time, they were accredited among the very first designers of two young companies born a few years ago and both destined for a great future: B&B Italia and Flos. Over the years other selected collaborations followed with major brands such as Cassina, with which Tobia won the Compasso d'Oro in 1970 for the Soriana sofa, and Molteni & C. Their career as architects was instead strongly linked to the Benetton company, of which they designed the first fabric factory and several shops around the world.Read more
