Babela
Designed by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
Babela is a chair with a strict design that shows how functionality and aesthetics can coexist in harmony in a single seat, providing great comfort despite the austerity of its form.
Designed in 1958 by Masters Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Babela is a chair that follows a strict industrial aesthetic: the form, reduced to its simplest expression in a kind of lofty silence, responds only to functional requirements. Lightweight and stackable, it facilitates movement and minimises space, being flat on the sides to allow alignment without wasting space. The reissue by Tacchini brings Babela into contemporary spaces, transforming the original steel frame into a base of ash wood.
