At the forefront in terms of both design and seating approach, Claudio Salocchi’s Palla armchair is a manifesto of the creative energy of the 1960s, a period in which new forms of freedom were pursued, including in design.
First presented in 1969 at the eighth edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Palla stands out for its radical concept that challenges traditional furniture design and explores new ways of relaxation and intimacy.
Starting from the volume of a sphere, Salocchi transforms its form into a perfect balance of function and aesthetics. The seat and footrest intertwine in a dynamic dialog, creating a playful yet refined design where comfort is conveyed through generous volumes and meticulous attention to detail.
Today, more than fifty years after its debut, Palla joins the Acerbis Remasters collection, preserving its original design identity and reaffirming its expressive power. Available in its original dimensions, with optimized comfort and in both fixed and swivel versions with return mechanism, this model continues to challenge design traditions, bringing the bold aesthetics and pioneering vision of Salocchi to contemporary interiors.
