Palla – Acerbis

Design by
Claudio Salocchi

At the forefront of both design and approach to seating, the Palla armchair by Claudio Salocchi is a manifesto of the creative energy of the 1960s – an era marked by the pursuit of new forms of freedom, including in design. First presented at the eighth edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 1969, Palla stands out for its radical concept, challenging conventional furniture design and exploring new ways of relaxation and conviviality.
Starting from the volume of a sphere, Salocchi deconstructs its form into a perfect balance of function and aesthetics. The seat and footstool interlock in a dynamic dialogue, creating a playful yet refined design where comfort is conveyed through generous volumes and meticulous attention to detail.
Today, more than fifty years after its debut, Palla joins the Acerbis Remasters collection, preserving its original design identity and reaffirming its expressive power. Offered in its original dimensions, with optimised comfort and available in both a fixed and a swivel version with a return mechanism, it continues to defy design conventions, bringing a bold aesthetic and Salocchi’s pioneering vision into contemporary interiors.
