Pair of Alky Lounge Chairs by Giancarlo Piretti for Castelli, 1970s

Designed by Giancarlo Piretti during the early 1970s, the Alky chair has become one of the defining icons of postmodern Italian seating design. Characterized by its fluid, low-slung silhouette and absence of visible structural elements, the design combines sculptural presence with exceptional comfort. This matching pair has been newly upholstered in a premium Minotti bouclé fabric in a refined green-grey tone that beautifully highlights the chair's soft organic lines. The textured upholstery complements the original design while giving the chairs a contemporary appearance suited to modern interiors. The distinctive waterfall shape flows seamlessly from backrest to seat and base, while the original aluminum trim remains visible at floor level, emphasizing the design's architectural character. An elegant and highly collectible pair that works equally well in residential, hospitality, or gallery settings.
