The document details the history and development of the 001 chair, a notable outdoor seating product by Metalmobil and Et al., within the context of Italy's economic and cultural shifts in the 1960s.
During the 1960s, Italy, especially the Romagna region, experienced an 'economic miracle' characterized by industrial growth and modernized agriculture. This era saw the adoption of American lifestyle influences, leading to increased consumerism and new cultural trends.
Created in 1956 in Emilia Romagna, the 001 chair was designed for outdoor use, particularly for the Adriatic Riviera's tourism industry. Crafted by blacksmiths, it emphasized durability and aesthetic appeal.
The 001 chair became a symbol of Italian leisure, widely used in public spaces and protected by an industrial patent. Its success extended internationally, with orders from Germany, France, the UK, and the USA.
The chair featured a metal frame with PVC-coated armrests for weather resistance, and a seat and backrest made of Xiloplast wire, offering flexibility and durability.
In 1975, the chair was restyled to modernize its appearance, reinforcing its frame. It remains a best-seller, with adaptations for various markets, including a stainless steel version for cruise ships.

Valle del Conca, Rimini 1956 Questa e una storia che ha tre protagonisti: due aziende del settore del mobile -Metalmobil ed Et al. - e una poltroncina per esterni che si chiama con un numero: lo 001.

Dal suo ingresso nel mercato nazionale la poltroncina accende l’interesse di aziende concorrenti del settore che realizzano numerose imitazioni prive dell’equilibrio armonico della nostra seduta. Metalmobil si trova nel tempo costretta a proteggere il suo prodotto con un “brevetto industriale” ma la concorrenza non appanna il suo crescente successo commerciale in Italia e nel mondo. Il cliente piu importante di Metalmobil diventa, in Europa, la tedesca Habit che - racconta il direttore export dell’epoca - “si innamorO delle nostre sedute e ne chiese 50mila.” L’entita della richiesta e enorme,...
