Mezzadro Stool
Designed in 1957 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the Mezzadro is an act of radical recontextualization. A tractor seat, a chromium-plated steel stem bent into an arched silhouette, a steam-treated beech footrest - each element borrowed from the industrial and agricultural world, then reassembled into something that reads as both provocation and sculpture.
The Castiglioni brothers were less interested in inventing new forms than in revealing the ones already around us. Mezzadro makes that sensibility visible. The tractor seat, lacquered in orange, red, yellow, white, or black, carries an inherent ergonomic intelligence developed for outdoor labor - here it becomes an object of precise domestic wit.
- Chromium-plated steel stem with cantilevered arch
- Lacquered seat available in orange, red, yellow, white, and black
- Steam-treated natural beech footrest with butterfly wing nut
Nearly seven decades after its conception, Mezzadro remains a measure of how far a single gesture of observation can travel. It belongs in kitchens, studies, and galleries alike - any space where ideas about design are taken seriously.
