When Gardella wanted to steer away from the rigid tenets
of the Modern Movement (in which he had been formed and
involved for years) he designed Digamma. This armchair fea-
tures a rational body with geometric shapes forming the seat
and backrest, a metal structure, and polished brass feet in-
fused with a heavy dose of irony: his famous ‘duck feet’. The
Digamma features a three position reclining mechanism,
and can be complemented by a matching footrest.

An architect, engineer and designer, Ignazio Gardella
founded the Milan-based Azucena editing agency in 1947
along with Luigi Caccia Dominioni, the first agency to pro-
duce high-quality design in Italy. This is when the first edition
of Digamma was produced, later edited by Dino Gavina for
his catalogue and, on assignment by Gavina, under the re-
sponsibility of Santa & Cole since 2005.

Cuando Gardella quiso distanciarse de los rígidos postu-
lados del Movimiento Moderno, donde se había formado,
concibió esta chaise longue. De estructura metálica y cuer-
po racionalista sus dos volúmenes geométricos se cargan
de ironía por alzarse desde sus famosas patas de pato. Un
guiño malicioso a la “decoración”. Gardella incorporó la ven-
taja de un respaldo reclinable en tres posiciones, visibles en
los costados casi con ostentación, indicando su función, así
como un reposapiés a juego.

Ignazio Gardella, arquitecto, ingeniero y diseñador, fun-
dó en Milán en 1947, junto con Luigi Caccia Dominioni, la in-
olvidable editorial Azucena, la primera en Italia en producir
diseño de alta calidad en tiempos de durísima posguerra.
Allí apareció la primera edición de Digamma, luego reedita-
da por Dino Gavina para su catálogo y, por cesión de Gavina,
desde 2005 bajo la responsabilidad de Santa & Cole.
