CC - Cylinderchair: Redefining Seating with Versatility and Elegance

A Unique Seating System by Martina Zappettini and Valerio Tunesi

The CC - Cylinderchair stands out from other seating designs with its innovative approach to support elements. The padding, which is usually hidden, takes center stage in this design. Integrated into the structure, the cushions are arranged in succession to form the support components. Embracing their own metal core, they transform the support surfaces into three-dimensional objects, giving the chair a unique and captivating appearance.

One of the key features of the CC - Cylinderchair is its open shape. The number and length of the cylindrical elements determine the overall shape and definition of the chair. This flexibility allows for various configurations, from an easy chair to an armchair or a seat. The cushions can be easily removed and interchanged, offering endless possibilities for customization.

Constructed with a combination of iron and a satin finish, the CC - Cylinderchair is not only visually stunning but also built to last. The cushions are made with high-density rubber and covered in cotton fabric, ensuring both comfort and durability. The chair's dimensions measure 730mm in length, 730mm in width, and 440mm in height, making it suitable for a variety of spaces.

Designed with versatility and simplicity in mind, the CC - Cylinderchair offers a seamless blend of form and function. Its modular design allows for easy adaptation to different environments, whether it's a domestic or work setting. By varying the length and number of cylinders, as well as the colors and fabrics of the cushions, the chair can be tailored to suit individual preferences and design aesthetics.

The CC - Cylinderchair project was initiated in October 2017 in Genoa and completed in March 2018. It was showcased at the Fuorisalone del Mobile in April 2018, receiving accolades for its innovative design. The chair's archetypal form of the Modern, combined with its customizable features, makes it a timeless piece that can enhance any space.

With its unique combination of elegance, flexibility, and functionality, the CC - Cylinderchair has garnered recognition in the design world. In 2019, it was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This award recognizes designs that demonstrate exceptional creativity, practicality, and innovation, meeting professional and industrial standards.

The CC - Cylinderchair is a testament to the power of design to transform traditional concepts into extraordinary creations. With its ability to adapt to different spaces and individual preferences, this seating system offers a new level of comfort and style.
