Prix compasso d'oro pour Chair “Laleggera” (the light one) (1998) Unifying back, legs, and seat in one structural construction Riccardo Blumer, Alias, Grumello del Monte The title of the chair pays homage to Gio Ponti's original lightweight wooden “Superleggera” of forty years earlier. A new knowledge of plastics permitted more curves, angled forms, hard corners, special textures and a range of colors. The legs are formed by bending back slices of the seat of the chair.
