Vela – Stackable Magnesium Chair @ Salone Milan 2019
Designed by the young couple, work and life partners, Gilli Kuchik and Ran Amitai, it has a simple and understated shape and the clean lines of three sails in the wind.
Its manufacture however is extraordinary, with shell in die-cast magnesium and the four legs in extruded magnesium – the first chair made using magnesium whihc has been designed, developed and produced in decidedly industrial terms.
Weighing two and a half kilos, it can be moved or stacked on another chair with just one finger.
