Babela Chair

Babela is a chair with a strict design that shows how functionality and aesthetics can coexist in harmony in a single seat, providing great comfort despite the austerity of its form.

Designed in 1958 by masters Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Babela is a small armchair with a stark industrial aesthetic: its form, reduced to its bare essentials in a kind of stately silence, is designed to meet only functional requirements. Lightweight and stackable, for easy movement and compact storage, it features flat sides so it can be stacked in a row, minimizing space. Tacchini’s reissue brings Babela to contemporary spaces, transforming the original iron frame into an ash wood base.
