Tatone

Seat/Footrest

Denis Santachiara, 1997

Tato is a family of poufs or footrests with a rigid base and different shapes, made of flexible material. The removable cover, easy to replace, is made of bi-elastic fabric, available in many colours.

A family of minimalist objects, with Tato as its prototype: in collaboration with the founder of Baleri Italia, Enrico Baleri, the first pouf designed by Denis Santachiara became a wider collection. A project with a strong visual and chromatic impact, which does not neglect the functional element: versatile and creative, the Tatone poufs suggest ways of use without imposing fixed paths or rigid interpretations, offering true sustainable freedom.
