An important addition to the collections is this prestigious reissue, which Tacchini
is excited to announce: Sella sofa by Carlo De Carli. Sella illustrates the concept
of “primary space” from De Carli’s philosophy – that of a “relational space” –,
a principle true to Tacchini’s vision of the function of furniture and interior design.
Sella is inspired by the armchair of the same name designed in 1966 by the famous
Italian architect.
