A re-edition of a great classic

Sancarlo is a re-edition of a great classic by the Maestro Achille Castiglioni. It is a treatise on ergonomics, functionality and geometry, and it revisits the idea of the Sanluca that he designed with his brother Pier Giacomo.

Padded volumes on a curved tube

The seat consists of a linear curved tube structure on which several padded volumes are placed. The concept was innovative for its time and is made more effective today by padding that changes density depending on the area of the body it supports.
