planula - Giovanni Carini - Chair - Libellula - Steel, Leather

Libellula armchair by Giovanni Carini for Planula. For Carini, the experience gained within the Poltronova office in the 1960s, together with a theoretical-critical training developed with teachers such as Benevolo and Koning at the advanced course in industrial design in Florence, has materialized professionally in the field of furniture and, more precisely, in the office sector; where function and ergonomics, along with specific knowledge of production techniques aimed at a defined market, are more in line with his modus operandi than aesthetic research on products with an uncertain productive future.
Libellula presents a slender structure with steel rods that, in this case, appear painted black (perhaps a special edition), on which two leather rectangles are wrapped and tightened by springs to tension it. Elegant and at the same time full of character, they fully embody the style of the Aglianese designer.
