Artemide - Vico Magistretti - Stacking chair (4) - Selene - as new! - ABS

We are well acquainted with this iconic and award-winning chair (item 4) designed by master Vico Magistretti for Artemide, the Selene, conceived nearly 60 years ago (1966, the year of the prototype's birth) and produced from 1969 to 1990. It is needless to add many adjectives and compliments when it comes to objects of this kind.
Unusually for us, but we're here to present an authentic and absolute INVENTORY CLEARANCE SALE!
Never before, we recovered these unused objects, with a patina color never seen before, shiny and smooth. Taking photos wasn't easy because of the brightness of the color, which changes with the light.
We have polished them; we notice that they only show imperfections due to age, which are not easily noticeable (in the corners of the internal parts, in the gaps...). There are no scratches or marks on the legs (never stacked). From the information gathered, we know they have been used for photo shoots in the sector.
Under these maintenance conditions, we are faced with a true design masterpiece.
We have equipped two of the four chairs with brand-new footrests (see images).
Total weight (net): 16 kg, shipping box dimensions: h.100, 66x55.
Packaged and shipped as usual with utmost care, obviously insured.
Images with descriptive captions; we do not ship to the European islands (except the Italian ones).

The Selene chair, whose design dates back to 1966, was created by Magistretti to be produced in plastic material, as he himself states: 'The seat and backrest are simple curved planes. The legs were, for me, the true image of the piece with a thin volume like that of a common wooden chair leg. I solved it by using the characteristic of a plastic mold made from a simple 3-millimeter-thick sheet with a very strong 'S'-shaped section, which gave the object a clear connection to common legless chairs, not elephant-legged chairs. It was a fun project working with the carpenter modeler on the wooden prototype.' Mass-produced, 'a finished specimen comes out of the machine every five minutes,' Selene is the result of a single stamping and pressing action on the pre-impregnated sheet (Ottagono 15, 1969).
