Sedia Stellare: A Throne for Dreamers

Stefania Vola's Award-Winning Design Inspired by The Little Prince

Stefania Vola's Sedia Stellare, a unique blend of art and design, offers a poetic and contemplative space for thinkers and dreamers. Inspired by the purity and bravery of The Little Prince, this piece is more than just a chair; it's a cradle for stargazers.

The Sedia Stellare stands out for its unique properties. Described as a small, precious throne for poetic thinkers, it invites those who sit to venture into sidereal trips, much like The Little Prince. The chair's design, which combines grace and majesty, offers a blend of regality and simplicity. This blend serves as a privileged key to access the charm and richness of countless cognitive universes. It's an ideal spot for contemplation and wine tasting.

The chair is crafted from cherry wood, natural leather, and brushed steel, materials chosen for their warmth and softness. The overall dimensions of the chair are 850mm (W), 1500mm (P), 1600mm (H). This design is not only functional but also an outstanding and artistically inspired object.

The Sedia Stellare was developed in Italy between 2011-2012. The formal research focused on harmoniously combining soft signs and warm materials in an original design that evokes reassuring archetypal forms. The chair is suited to special spaces such as cellars, wine bars, and reading places. The intention is to produce the chair preferably in a limited edition, and the design is patented.

Stefania Vola's design faced creative and technical challenges. The goal was to create a unique piece that combined art and functionality while evoking familiar forms. The result is a chair that is not only comfortable but also a work of art.

The Sedia Stellare was awarded the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2013. The award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. These venerated products and bright ideas advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.

In conclusion, Stefania Vola's Sedia Stellare is a testament to the power of design to create spaces for contemplation and dreaming. Its unique design, inspired by The Little Prince, offers a poetic and contemplative space for thinkers and dreamers. It's more than just a chair; it's a throne for dreamers.
