ESPAGUETI by Erre Arquitectura for GANDIABLASCO

The Espagueti chair is one of those designs that seem to emerge from the spontaneity of a stroke made without lifting the pencil. Its light steel rod structure traces its thin skate-style legs and armrests, running along the seat shell as if it were a continuous line. In Spain, when someone has a thin and graceful body, we colloquially say that they are a “spaghetti”. Hence, the name of this chair with a light appearance and friendly expression, both for its delicate structure and for the successful thickness and format of its seat, which accompanies the simulated stroke in great harmony.

Considering the thinness of its structure, to that challenge of achieving an appearance as a continuous line, it was necessary to add the play of balances required to provide it with stability. In addition, it had to be stackable without losing its elegance, a condition that also posed a challenge for Erre Arquitectura because this has been its first foray into the field of industrial design. “We have the concern to address every last detail of each project to achieve the maximum value to the spaces. In this sense, product design shares with architecture the concern to serve the end user and we are excited to have been able to apply our experience in the design of spaces, for the first time, in the creation of an industrial chair ,” they say.

“The design of the Espagueti chair pays homage to the functionality and beauty of its structure, built with the delicacy of a stroke. A line that shapes each of the main elements of a chair, in a continuous journey that goes from the support on the ground, collecting the seat and providing subtle arms. The great challenge has been to conceive the structure as a continuous line from beginning to end, evoking the culture of circular design ,” they explain from Erre Arquitectura.
