Chiocciola

Due to historic withering, an acanthus leaf has curled in on itself, becoming the petal of a sofa-flower. Designed for the interior of the Skin Up store, the Chiocciola (Snail) is a stylised version of the acanthus leaf, which here functions as sinuous, linear, modular seating.
In 2020 it has been chosen as key-visual for the exhibition “Radical: Italian Design 1965-1985. The Dennis Freedman Collection” at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.
