About the Item

Designed by Marco Maran and introduced in 1995, the post-modern style Ricciolina chair by Maxdesign represents an award-winning example of contemporary Italian design. The Ricciolina gained international recognition for its patented double-curved shell construction, which earned the Grand Prix at the 1995 Salon du Meuble in Paris. The design would later become closely associated with the Knoll Gigi armless chair, making these early Italian examples particularly significant within Maran's body of work. Please note: This listing is for one chair. Nine chairs are currently available. Buyers may select the quantity desired at checkout, subject to availability. The chair's defining feature is the sculptural curved connection between the seat and backrest. Flowing as a continuous ribbon-like form, the silhouette creates a striking sense of visual lightness while delivering exceptional ergonomic comfort. The elegant double-curve profile naturally supports posture and movement, embodying Maran's research-driven approach to industrial design. Executed in black molded polypropylene atop a sleek chrome-plated steel frame, the chair balances organic form with architectural precision. Its fluid shape appears almost suspended above the slender metal base, creating a dynamic profile from every angle. Originally designed for versatility across residential and commercial settings, the Ricciolina transitions effortlessly between dining, conference, office, hospitality, and creative environments. Its combination of comfort, durability, and sculptural presence has made it one of Marco Maran's most recognizable seating designs. Functions as a very comfortable desk chair. Often compared to and associated with the later Knoll Gigi chair, the Ricciolina shares the same celebrated design language and innovative double-curved shell construction. Collectors and designers alike appreciate the model's importance as one of the defining expressions of late twentieth-century Italian furniture design. The sophisticated black-and-chrome palette complements a wide range of interiors including Contemporary, Italian Modern, Minimalist, Industrial, Modernist, and Postmodern spaces. Equally effective as a dining chair, desk chair, conference chair, or occasional accent seat, the Ricciolina offers a timeless combination of engineering innovation and visual elegance.
