About the Item
Confidential Armchairs designed by Alberto rosselli for Saporiti Italia, 1970s, polyurethane foam, black cowhide metallic effect.
The Confidential is one of the most important products of the Saporiti Italia history. Designed by Alberto Rosselli in 1972, it is one of the first modular systems ever made, engineered to be entirely produced by polyurethane injected foam. Metal frame in steel. Upholstered seats in fabric or leather.
Architect and designer, adopted from Milan, is the son-in-law of Gio Ponti. A silent but fundamental figure in the panorama of 20th century Italian design, Alberto Rosselli has deeply marked the design culture of the post-war period. Theoretical and educational, is among the promoters-founders of ADI (Association for Industrial Design). Together with Marco Zanuso he designed the three-dimensional Compasso d'Oro (designed by A. Steiner): the current symbol of recognition. Among the first to talk about industrial design, seriality and organization. His idea: to promote the transition from art furniture to industrial furniture. Another commitment? Rigorous method criteria applied to the teaching approach: a breakthrough in university teaching. Director of the magazine Stile Industria since its foundation in 1954, he was a judge in the first three editions of the Compasso d'Oro Award. Some of his achievements: the expansion of the Corriere della Sera headquarters in via Solferino (between 1960 and 1965) and the exhibition space at the Fiera Di Milano. In the field of design, to name a few: the 1960 Ninfea Chair by Regutti Mobili, the bar table for Kartell of 1967, the Confidential armchair for Saporiti of 1968.

- Alberto Rosselli Saporiti Italia Post Modern Confidential Club Lounge Chairs MCMBy Alberto Rosselli SaporitiLocated in Dayton, OH"Iconic pair of Fratelli Saporiti Italia Confidental lounge, library or club arm chairs by Alberto Rosselli, circa 1970s. One of the first modular club chairs with a puzzle like cushion connection creating a pivotal look. Provenance : Jerome Schottenstein Estate, Columbus Ohio. Jerome was was an American entrepreneur and philanthropist, co-founder of Schottenstein Stores Corp. The Schottenstein family were Lithuanian immigrants who began an extensive business empire in the late 19th Century. Schottenstein Stores owns stakes in DSW and American Signature Furniture; American Eagle Outfitters, retail liquidator SB360 Capital Partners, over 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing its shoes and furniture. It also holds an ownership interest in American Eagle Outfitters, Wehmeyer in Germany, Cold Stone Creamery and The Mazel Company. Since 1950, Saporiti Italia produces some of the most sophisticated and advanced pieces of furniture of the history of Italian design. There is a leit motiv in all the company's creations: each new piece is history in itself. Catching time off balance and anticipating the future are both the challenge and the vocation of Saporiti Italia. Each item created and constructed by the company is slightly ahead of its time and it is destined to last, both in form and function, until the next era. The company, founded in 1950 by Mr. Sergio Saporiti and still under control of the Saporiti family, has contributed to the creation of milestones in the history of Italian design. During these decades of fast growing economy and fast changing social environment, Saporiti Italia set its particular international and avant-garde style. The first pieces of furniture of the Saporiti of the times were clearly influenced by emerging Scandinavian design, but with a special touch of Italian elegance in the use of finishing and materials. In 1965 Sergio Saporiti started a fruitful and “scientific” collaboration with one of the masters of Italian architecture and design of all times: Alberto Rosselli. Together they created a series of pieces of furniture – the Jumbo chair...Category
