SELLA STOOL

Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
1957

DESIGNERS Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
YEAR 1957
TYPE Stool
MODEL Sella
MATERIAL Bicycle saddle, steel, cast iron
MANUFACTURER Zanotta

Sella uses an ordinary bicycle saddle as the seat of an unconventional stool designed for short periods of support rather than conventional sitting.

The saddle is mounted on a slender steel stem connected to a heavy rounded base, allowing the object to remain stable while maintaining a minimal physical presence.

Like Mezzadro, Sella demonstrates the Castiglioni brothers’ fascination with existing industrial objects and their ability to reinterpret them through a change of context and function.
