Sacco Easy Chair

Anatomically easy chairs. Envelope with highly durable expanded polystyrene pellets.

Fifty years later, what is left to write about one of the icons of Italian design that even today communicates the absolute power of ideas – that is, when such power actually exists? There is no place in the written history of design where this object is not among the top ten icons that changed the perspective of our beloved field forever and for everyone.

Perhaps we might add – beyond the sacrilegious act of filling a sack (Sacco) with polystyrene balls and turning it into the most informal, the most versatile, the most irreverent, the most liberating, the softest, the most ergonomic and the ‘most’ everything chair – it has no defined form.
This is precisely why, despite time, seasons, fashions and every conceivable ‘ism’, it has endured and maintained its greatest value: Far beyond the seasons, it is a concept that has survived to the present day intact, ready to be adapted in versions for children and young people, because encouraging smiling and having fun even while sitting ‘on the couch’ is not an adult luxury.
