Group of six Alessia chairs by Giotto Stoppino for Driade, 1970s. Chromed tubular metal legs and white ABS seats. Trademark visible under the seats. Giotto Stoppino (1926-2011) is one of the central figures of Italian Neoliberty. He made a name for himself at the 54th Triennale where he exhibited a series of innovative pieces made of curved plywood, a clear inspiration coming from the Scandinavian style much in vogue in the 1950s. He began a fruitful collaboration with Vittorio Gregotti and Lodovico Meneghetti, with whom he founded a studio in Novara. From this collaboration came innovative furniture such as the light rush armchairs produced by Bonacina in 1961. In the 1970s Stoppino became famous for his metal pieces such as the 537 lamp for Arteluce also displayed in the exhibition "Italy: the New Domestic Landscape" at MoMA in 1972.
