Gigi Sabadin Biography
Gigi Sabadin (1930 - ), born in 1930, was born in Cittadella, Padua, and was the author of emblematic pieces in the history of design. He is a shy character and an anomalous designer. He is one of the most sensitive connoisseurs and interpreters of wood and its processing possibilities. A metalworker by profession with a passion for making and great manual skill, in his laboratory he has created essential and modern objects based on intelligent technical and formal inventions. In his projects there is a perfect mix of technical knowledge, knowledge of the material, elaboration of the form. Pure creative acts, even before products to be sold and multiplied, as in fact it was and still is under the Sabadin brand or others. But with all the care and attention to usability, ergonomic qualities and cost issues. Still extraordinarily current today, in concept and use. His story is apparently simple, as simple and absolute appear in his products. Famous are his Peota chairs (1970), Fiora (model CH-304) from 1979, the Canossa chairs (1974), folding chairs model Arca (1974) and the production of stackable chairs for Stilwood also from the 70s.
