Paolo castelli - Enso chair

A return to the essentiality of design, a seat that reinvents a classic piece of furniture thanks to the combination of simple geometric shapes enhanced by contrasting colour choices and textures.
Composed of an exposed wooden frame, the Enso chair uses a calibrated overlapping of circles, from which it takes its name, as a backrest, making it a fascinating proposition for residential and contract spaces with refined taste. Chair with a walnut-stained ash wood structure. The seat and backrest are padded with expanded polyurethane. Available in leather, fabric, or nubuck upholstery.

“Perhaps because of the final rest You are the image, to me so dear you comeO Evening!” Alla Sera, Ugo Foscolo.
Evening comes within the walls of the home in its still silence, permeating every room with stillness and serenity. The doors close, the lights dim, the furniture reveals its profile in the half-light: everything is designed to slow the pace and regain a sense of one’s own time. Paolo Castelli’s new 2023 collection “Alla Sera” (In the evening) originated from the desire to harmonise distinct sensations, giving life to a romantic landscape that evokes the atmosphere created by a sunset. An evocative scenario inhabited by indoor and outdoor proposals and high-tech lighting systems with a handcrafted soul that testify to Paolo Castelli’s ability to offer an extensive catalogue of furniture for the living and sleeping area. Lights and shadows meet in a symphony of chiaroscuro enhancing colours and materiality: a dreamlike stage where the new proposals tell little stories of timeless elegance.
