Babela chair is designed by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Tacchini with base with open-pore lacquered ash wood in various finishes; internal frame in birch plywood 15 mm thick, padded with differentiated - density polyurethane foam and upholstered with fully removable cover in leather or fabric.
There are designs which are born classics in name only. Babela is one of those designs and one of those names. Comfort meets form and function which is revealed in the possibility of stacking this seat up like a tower. Its design was simple and archetypical, with a particular mixture of materials, visual texture and tactile effects.
Designed in 1958 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the Milan Chamber of Commerce, Babela is an excellent example of how practicality and aesthetics can work together in the same chair, a comfort- able, stackable easy chair with a rigorous design perfect for the institutional setting for which it was conceived. This reissue brings Babela into contemporary spaces, transforming the original iron frame into a warmer, more natural ash wood one.
