Sancarlo

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Sancarlo sofa/armchair, designed by Achille Castiglioni, was developed following a request from Driade. It marks a return to armchair design for Castiglioni, who last designed the Sanluca with his brother Pier Giacomo, a piece that was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.

Design Concept
The Sancarlo incorporates ergonomic features from the Sanluca, such as separate elements for lumbar support, back support, and headrest. These features are enhanced with modern technology, using cushions of varying densities for improved comfort.

Structure and Materials
The structure of the Sancarlo is based on a bent tube design reminiscent of Bauhaus aesthetics, chosen for its enduring functionality. Unlike the traditional chrome finish, the Sancarlo features a painted finish, offering a tactile experience and a choice of colors.
