Marks that Matta uses for his object. He made the bowler upside down in fiberglass, and inside the apple foam, which is compressed into the hat at the time of sitting. An artistic object as well as of common use, which brings together imagination and memory of a dear friend. The name of the chair, MAgriTTA, comes from the union of the names of the designer and the artist, Magritte and Matta. A unique object, with character and unrepeatable, in perfect Gufram style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1047\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/?attachment_id=1047\" class=\"wp-image-1047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-b-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1048\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/?attachment_id=1048\" class=\"wp-image-1048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.designcons.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/post-8-c-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chair designed by Sebastian Matta in 1970 and produced by Simon Gavina, then by Gufram.
