The “Bocca socchiusa” chair effectively sums up the creative process of the Bottega Ghianda, a process which moves from abstract idea to design and actual construction via a series of progressive variations, tracking the prototype of a chair through its evolutionary stages. Its Italian title (meaning slightly open mouth) suggests that this final model tells a discreet tale of the many other models that have been created before it and that have been continuously restyled, changing the shape for subsequent approximations and adapting materials in a continuous effort to adapt. The leather of the chair steps aside and makes way for bamboo, to create a much lighter feel. The gentle curve of the backrest adds to this lightness. When a piece of furniture strives for the perfection of a work of art, it involves this degree of arduous work.
