Sella Stool
Dynamic balance
Irony and attention to functions are the assumptions on which the ‘jugglers’ Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni based their participation in the Colori e forme nella casa d’oggi exhibition held at Villa Olmo, Como in 1957. This was one of the founding experiences of Italian design culture, where, as if by magic, a real racing bicycle saddle (Sella) appeared, mounted on a stainless steel column supported by a heavy hemispherical base, capable of achieving ‘dynamic balance’.
The object was conceived as a ‘telephone stool’ for unusual postures and occasional seating, but in addition to being a clear reference to the world of bicycle racing (the color recalls the pink jersey worn by the winner of the Giro d’Italia), it is reminiscent of the milking stool, which is ‘attached’ to the body by a waist belt; this stool consists of a very simple top and only one leg, which, in addition to the two legs of the person sitting on it, forms the third element needed for correct balance.
