Designed in 1968 by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini, and Franco Teodoro, the Sacco armchair is the most famous "shapeless" seat in the world and a global icon of Italian Radical Design. Breaking with the rigid norms of traditional furniture, it remains a symbol of creative freedom and informal living.
Description
The Sacco Medium is an anatomical armchair that foregoes traditional legs and backrest. Instead, it uses a flexible cover filled with thousands of high-resistance expanded polystyrene beads. This unique construction allows the armchair to perfectly adapt to the user's body in any position: seated, reclined, or curled up.
