To celebrates it 45th anniversary, Alias has decided to provide an ironic and artistic take on some of its most famous icons, including the Spaghetti Chair, the first chair ever to be produced by the company.
Spaghetti Chair: a symbol of modernity and style
The Spaghetti Chair has become part of the collective imagination with its simplicity, modern functionality, and immediate irony.
A symbol of timeless modernity, this iconic seat can be found in both domestic and public spaces—from cafés to gardens, private dwellings, and offices—and seems as if it had always been around.
Designed by the Milanese master of Italian rationalism, Giandomenico Belotti, the Spaghetti Chair stands out for its minimalist lines and innovative use of simple materials like PVC.
Its woven PVC seat, which recalls an infinite strand of spaghetti, and its metal structure represent the perfect synthesis between aesthetics and functionality.
A chair in constant evolution
Moreover, over the years, the designer has continued to perfect his piece, adding components and making meticulous improvements to enhance its comfort and. Each change has made the chair even more comfortable and in line with the times, keeping it contemporary through a nonstop process of optimization.
The new photography project for the Spaghetti Chair
Alias pays homage to the Spaghetti Chair with a photography project by Delfino Sisto Legnani, who has made it the star of an original and ironic photographic narrative.
Through a free and creative approach, Legnani decontextualizes the chair from its traditional function, having it interact with unexpected objects and figures associated with the world of childhood.
In a celebration of Alias’ distinctive philosophy of “Something Else”, this contrast highlights the Spaghetti Chair’s innovative design and the lightness of its name.
