Sella

Sella by Zanotta, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, is a unique stool that cleverly resembles a racing bicycle saddle, merging playful design with functionality. The stool features a distinctive black saddle seat, complemented by a pink lacquered steel column and a sturdy cast-iron base, creating a bold statement piece for any space. Originally conceived as a “telephone stool” for unconventional seating arrangements, Sella draws inspiration from the cycling world, with its vibrant color reminiscent of the winner’s jersey from the Giro d’Italia. Beyond its aesthetic references, the design incorporates elements from the traditional milking stool, where the seat is “worn” around the waist, providing a simple surface with a single point of contact for stability.
