monobloc fiberglass armchairs „Melaina“ by Rodolfo Benetto for Driade - 1970 Italy
An exceptional example of Italian Space Age design, the Melaina chair combines sculptural presence with functional comfort. Designed as a seamless fiberglass monoblock, the chair features fluid organic curves and a futuristic silhouette characteristic of the avantgarde design movement of the 1970s.
Its low, enveloping seat and glossy molded surface create a striking visual statement while maintaining ergonomic comfort. The design reflects Rodolfo Bonetto’s innovative approach to industrial materials and his fascination with futuristic forms.
