Description
Overview
Memory Lane is a timeless chair by Christophe Pillet for Tacchini, radically simplified in design. It celebrates the elegance of minimalism in a balance of comfort and functionality, as a universal seat.
Construction
The chair consists of a slender metal frame, a refined upholstery with visible stitching and elastic straps that show only on the back of the backrest. The steel is color-coated and fitted with elastic belts. Multi-density polyurethane foam gives the padding, and the cover is either fabric or leather.
Specifications
W 59 x D 65.5 x H 83.6 cm (0MMLSD01).
Story
A manifesto of simplicity
Christophe Pillet designs Memory Lane for Tacchini as a universal seat and a manifesto of simplicity and the purest forms. The chair is radically simplified, with a slender metal frame, refined upholstery with visible stitching, and elastic straps visible only on the back of the backrest.
No unnecessary artifice
Its elegance lies in the rejection of any unnecessary aesthetic artifice. That complete absence of complexity lets the chair blend naturally into different settings, where it is noticed for exactly that quality.
