A chair with or without armrests characterised by an extreme lightness of form and a careful balance of solids and voids, Petra embodies versatility, functionality and elegance. The solid canaletta walnut frame and the upholstery are separated while coexisting in perfect harmony; this separation is a winning feature in everyday use because it facilitates grip, making moving the chair more comfortable and practical. The separation of wood and upholstery also gives the Petra chair a certain flexibility in the backrest, improving comfort. A seat that is visually light but with a strong aesthetic quid, practical and functional that guarantees a high level of adaptability in different interior design projects.
Founded in 2006 in Milan by Marco Paolelli and Sandro Meneghello, after graduating from the Design Polytechnic University, Studio Meneghello Paolelli works with Italian and foreign companies to create added value through product design. The developed projects are innovative, strongly iconic and reflect a drive towards innovation that is not intended to be an end in itself but it is anchored in the concreteness of the product. The studio has received several international awards including thirteen Red Dot Design Awards among which two ‘Best of the Best’, seven Design Plus, three Good Design Awards, eight ADI Design Index, four special mentions for the German Design Award and four iF Design Awards. Studio Meneghello Paolelli for Porada has designed the Molly chair, the Aksel writing desk and the Sansiro table.
