Attica Armchair

Attica is a drum from a classical column shaft, cut to the height of a chair and fitted with a soft cushion with a graphic pattern. Studio 65 designed it in 1972 as a companion to Capitello: where that piece takes the capital of a column modelled on the Erechtheion in Athens, Attica comes from the shaft below.

Like the rest of the series, it is made of soft polyurethane and finished by hand in Guflac® Ultra. The white, stone-like surface keeps the look of an ancient ruin, while the seat gives way when you sit down. The coating allows use indoors and outdoors, on a terrace as well as in a living room. Attica is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, and the hand finish means that each one differs slightly.

Placed with Capitello and the Attica TL coffee table, the three pieces reassemble the fallen column as a group of furniture.
