Tacchini, created in 1965 by Antonio, when production, too, was almost entirely Italian, and the most poetic and soul-stirring passages in the story of design were written. Naturally in time the children become the heirs, and the new founders, in a rationale of continuous updating and redefinition of there underlyting idea, and that is what is actually handed down.
Nine to Five
The Five to Nine daybed draws inspiration from 1900s scenic designs that portrayed a place for creative escape – a space as physical as it was mental – the studios of the great artists. Designed by Milan-based Studiopepe, the Five to Nine daybed is the star player in a fictitious artist’s studio, a cosmopolitan, contemporary space, cradle of creative genius. With bolster pillows that run its entire length, the daybed has a bold personality and is super-versatile. Thanks to the array of upholstery options possible, it can fill many needs and fit in different settings – upholstered in leather, for a minimalist Bauhaus effect, or in mohair velvet for maximum comfort and enveloping softness. The wood seat structure has an open-pore painted finish, with turned legs and achieves its fullest expression once the bolster pillows, one by one, have been set in place, along with the armrest and backrest (available in two sizes), and the round side table with surfaces in concrete or metal, in various colors and finishes for a more textured effect.
The daybed is an invitation to relax or wait in comfort. Thanks to its sleek linearity, it can stand alone or be a fitting addition to an arrangement of furniture pieces and accessories, ideal for both domestic use and public spaces. The daybed can also be used at home as a guest bed, thanks to a special linen-upholstered, softly padded mattress that, when placed on the bolster pillows, transforms the seat into a real sleep oasis. By applying the Japanese lifestyle philosophy to the new needs of the contemporary home, the mattress is a removable accessory that allows an increasingly versatile use of home furnishings.
Polar
Polar is inspired by the shear forms of the ice caps in the arctic seas, thus giving life to an extremely versatile seating system. The seats and backrests , characterized by their full and sheared forms can be coupled together in a variety of ways, creating numerous seating layouts or options. The system is completed by a rather beautiful armchair and an original side table.
Quilt
Quilt is the expression of a timelessly charming elegance, perfectly suited to both home and contract environments. The distinctive quilting on the backrest offers a pleasing sense of comfort, both to the touch and to the eye, while the steel base adds lightness to the solid, rigorous volumes of the seating. Quilt is available as an armchair, a sofa in a range of sizes, and a square pouf.
Roma
Almost suspended above the floor, with the slenderest of legs upholding a large, cosy seat. Jonas Wagell imagines a family of sofas, inspired by the soft, curving form of a semicircle: this little collection, from armchair to sofa to chaise longue, is called Roma, a strong reference to the classical sphere in which its lines are rooted. With citations from fifties design, not of affectation, but of clear inspiration, this design is “classical” by nature, and not only in name.
