Product description
A fun set of a table and five stools in polypropylene, Space Age style, produced by the Italian brand Gianplast in the 1970s, based on the iconic Tam Tam Diabolo model by French designer Henry Massonnet. The Tam Tam stool was designed in 1968 by Henry Massonnet and soon became a staple of 20th-century furniture. It was originally intended as an easily removable seat for fishing enthusiasts. Its thoughtful hourglass-shaped design and extreme lightness, as well as its striking colors, were the main reasons for its success. It was so successful that it was exhibited at the MoMA. It is ideal for small spaces, children's rooms, or terraces. A practical, lightweight, easily removable and stackable set, as well as original and fun thanks to its shapes and colors. The Space Age stool follows the aesthetic canons of the Space Age style, a style that has made a strong comeback and is part of current trends in interior design and decoration. The "Space Age" emerged between the late 1950s and early 1970s. It is based on the idea of an optimistic world following the success of atomic energy and space travel. This style draws its aesthetic inspiration from the American space race and everything related to outer space, such as space satellites, helmets, spacecraft, the effect of weightlessness, and an optimistic proposal for a new futuristic lifestyle. The sphere is adopted as the main morphological reference, as seen in the design of this piece, referencing satellites or space helmets. Aerospace engineers influenced design and architecture through the adaptability of the materials they created for flight. This aesthetic influenced all fields of design: architecture, industrial products, interiors, clothing, graphics, textiles, etc., and also major designers.
