AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction is an iconic Jodi model chair, produced by the Italian brand Sintesi. This piece represents a perfect example of minimal and functional design, characterized by a lightweight yet extremely robust structure.

The Jodi chair stands out for its intelligent use of plastic material (technical polymer) for the seat and back, mounted on a slender chrome-plated metal frame. Its minimalist design and visual transparency make it a versatile furnishing accessory, ideal for modern or industrial environments.

Historical References and Analogies
For aesthetics and design philosophy, the Jodi chair clearly echoes the famous Spaghetti Chair designed by Giandomenico Belotti for Alias (on display at MoMA in New York). It shares with the latter the pursuit of maximum lightness and the use of emptiness as a graphic element, presenting itself as a contemporary and distinctive alternative to the great classic of Italian design.
