presented at milan design week 2011, is the 'tagliatelle' chair by british designer jasper morrison for
italian furniture company alias. the design is a reinterpretation of alias's iconic spaghetti chair 30 years
after its initial introduction. a highly innovative follow-up, 'tagliatelle' continues the perfect
synthesis of technology and form incorporated in the spaghetti chair, extracting and reformulating
each and every element. the structure is stove-enameled tubular steel, with the back and seat rests consisting
of interwoven elastic strips, available in a single color or a combination of shades. the resulting form is zen inspired;
of studied yet simple elegance. a harmonious and balanced composition derived from meticulous attention to each detail;
the calculations for the diameter of the tubular steel, the structure’s interlocking system, the invisible system used
to secure the elastic strips.
