Designed by Charles Pollock
In 1982, the designer Charles Pollock created a real design classic: Penelope. The American designer developed for Castelli a revolutionary chair from a technical and formal point of view: a steel-wire sled base supports a seat permeable to air which consists in a steel-wire fence coated with synthetic resin. The elastic effect of the base is stressed by an integral polyurethane tube that acts as a shock-absorber. The armrest coverings are made of the same material providing additional comfort. With Penelope, Pollock translated into reality a new form of seat. That’s why this timeless classic still enjoys fame in today’s design world.

This chair highlights the traditional shapes which give a very fine and elegant impression.
Kat dining chair is a well-crafted and utilitarian design. The round edges and corners on the solid wood leg contribute a soft and quiet feel. The visible dark grey epoxy metal screws and rails add a touch of elegance. It’s a chair that does not call for attention but attracts you anyway.
Altet is one of those timeless classics deserving to be reedited because of its elegance and the simplicity of its shape. Without giving up on its roots or losing a tiny bit of its character, this updated version of Altet keeps showing how to successfully survive the passage of time.
