This multifunctional bench perfectly captures the spirit of 1980s Italian postmodern design, with its sculptural forms and combination of practical and conceptual elements. Attributed to Paolo Pallucco, known for his radical and experimental approach, the piece combines a seat, table, and magazine rack in a single structure, transforming it into a small domestic microcosm.
The seat is compact and essential, conceived not only as a furnishing element but as a stylistic statement. The adjacent tabletop serves as an integrated table, ideal for books, glasses, or small objects, while the magazine rack on the side completes its multifaceted function.
Crafted with clean geometric lines and the material contrasts typical of the period, the bench expresses the aesthetic tension between function and irony that characterizes radical design. The object thus sits halfway between furniture and installation, evoking the conceptual research that made Pallucco and his circle famous.
A rare and fascinating piece, capable of conveying the visionary and experimental atmosphere that pervaded Italian design in the 1980s.
