The Penelope chair, designed by Charles Pollock for Anonima Castelli in 1982, represents a significant moment in late twentieth-century seating design. This set of four chairs showcases Pollock's innovative approach to materials, combining a continuous sled base with a suspended mesh seat.
Constructed with a chromed steel rod frame, the chairs feature a distinctive black woven steel mesh seat and backrest. The design incorporates black polyurethane armrests that provide a striking visual contrast to the polished chrome structure. The sled base design offers a subtle flex, enhancing the ergonomic comfort of the mesh sling.
These chairs remain in great condition, preserving their structural integrity and original finish. The chrome frames retain their bright polish, and the mesh seating surfaces are intact and taut, reflecting careful previous ownership.
With their transparent profile and industrial elegance, these chairs suit both contemporary dining spaces and modern home offices. They pair exceptionally well with glass or minimalist wood tables, bringing a touch of 1980s Italian design heritage to the room.
