Konzept
“I would have liked to have been a director, but I only know how to design chairs.” Michele De Lucchi
An innovative architectural project stimulates furniture design
Michele De Lucchi first imagined the 298 (UniCredit Pavilion Project) chair as the seating for the multi-purpose building which he designed in natural materials and with innovative construction techniques. The UniCredit Pavilion, located in the new Porta Nuova area of the city, will open to the public in July.
The pinnacle of the director’s chair in a combination of high technology and craftsmanship
It was important that the seating designed for the UniCredit Pavilion would not only respect the aesthetics of the building but also respond to the numerous necessities of this dynamic space.
Michele De Lucchi therefore studied and developed a sophisticated interpretation of the typical director’s chair in beech wood, a resistant and durable material. Each of the 900 chairs has an INOX steel mechanism which allows them to be easily folded away and neatly stored when not in use. Produced in the Cassina carpentry workshop with a number of highly advanced machines, the chair is further elaborated, finished and assembled by hand. The high quality workmanship can be seen in particular in the chair’s tapered wooden arms which smoothly curve into its legs, resulting in a light silhouette. The chair, with a padded seat and back rest upholstered in red fabric, has been left natural and finished with a low-gloss varnish to enhance the warmth of the wood.

Italy
The philosophy adopted by Michele De Lucchi's office seeks to maintain a steady interaction between architectural thinking, industrial design and global communication. This transverse approach is backed by Michele De Lucchi's own international experience acquired in more than forty years' work. Founded in the early 1980s, the office has kept its original multicultural and multidisciplinary origins. Producing architecture and design for Italian and foreign institutes, public and private organisations, businesses and individuals, it carries out in-depth surveys of matters relating to contemporary society, especially the role of industry and crafts, technology and nature. Formed by architects and designers from all over the world, the office shows a predilection for teamwork. Its projects are developed without ever being confined to the visual aspects traditionally associated with design, but rather by contemplating every necessary step - from analysis to concept, from realisation to forecasts of future scenarios. The office staff comprises some forty professionals from different cultural backgrounds and experiences who are committed to complex projects. These ranger from the scale of products to that of architecture and city planning. Always at the forefront of the international cultural scene, the firm implements a policy of technical, performing and functional quality related to reasonable completion and management costs. The firm's head office is in central Milan, in an Art Nouveau building that was converted in 2006 into a creative workshop.At Angera Michele De Lucchi has established his atelier-archive, where architectural experiments start off and the documentary records of his work are kept. aMDL operates through the work of Michele De Lucchi and four Project Directors: Nicholas Bewick, Alberto Bianchi, Giovanna Latis, Angelo Micheli, each of whom coordinates a project design group. As proof of a design reaching for excellence, the office was this year awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certificate for its architectural, urban, interior and exhibition design.
