In 1982, Charles Randolph Pollock created Penelope, a true design classic. The American designed a light and flexible project for Anonima Castelli. Penelope consists of a sled base in steel wire supporting a mesh seat covered in Rilsan. The elastic effect of the base is underlined by a polyurethane tube that acts as a shock absorber. The armrest covers, made of the same material, offer additional comfort. With Penelope, Pollock has made a new form of seating a reality.
Anonima Castelli is one of Italy’s most innovative post-war furniture manufacturers, founded in Bologna in 1877 and internationally recognised for its forward-thinking approach to industrial design. In the 1960s and 70s, the company became synonymous with functional modernism, collaborating with designers such as Giancarlo Piretti to create pieces that redefined flexibility in living and working environments.
