STACK
Raw Edges/Shay Alkalay
An exemplar of great 20th-century Italian design made possible by 21st-century
manufacturing techniques.
The Mauro Chair is a hardworking, irrepressibly stylish, stackable, timber chair by Italian
master designer Mauro Pasquinelli. The stackable chair was first created as a prototype in
1976 but was too ambitious a design for commercial production at the time.
Now, Established & Sons is bringing this elegant timber chair to the market for the first
time, using advanced CNC technology to create a seat that will stand the test of time. Built
in Manzano in northern Italy, a global hub for high-quality chair fabrication.
THE DESIGNER
Mauro Pasquinelli is one of Italy’s most prolific and respected chair designers. Born in
Scandicci, Florence, in the 1930s, he had his first taste of furniture making as a child in the
workshop of his carpenter father.
After graduating from the Florence Art Institute in 1951, he won a series of awards, quickly
establishing himself as a significant talent designing more than 50 successful chairs.
Now in his 80s, he is still designing in Scandicci.
