Item Description

A sculptural and highly expressive “Hydra” chair designed by Roberto Semprini, one of Italy’s most distinctive contemporary designers, for Sintesi. The chair embodies Semprini’s signature visual language—dynamic lines, architectural structure, and a bold yet refined material presence. The Hydra chair is defined by its fluid, almost graphic silhouette, where structure and form merge into a single continuous gesture. Its composition balances geometric rigor with playful tension, resulting in a piece that functions equally as seating and as a statement object. The design reflects late 20th-century Italian experimentation, where postmodern influence meets structural clarity. Engineered with attention to proportion and stability, the chair offers comfortable seating while maintaining a visually lightweight profile. Ideal for collectors of Italian design, curated interiors, or gallery settings, it introduces a strong design identity without overwhelming a space.
