Calma has rescued one of Spain’s great design classics for its collection.
Bestowed with a Gold Delta Award in 1988, the country’s most coveted design award, the Coqueta chair by Pete Sans is both a carefully balanced and a radical piece of design.
A milestone in the history of Spanish design, a basket-weave seat is suspended from its seamless stainless steel structure, all of which is held together with its most identifiable detail: a buckled belt which spans the length of the chair.
Pete Sans was born in Barcelona (1947) in the middle of a Catalan family linked to the artistic and intellectual circles of the city. Once he had finished his higher studies, he travelled to Germany with the purpose to perfectionate his training in the field of the industrial design.
He returned to Barcelona in 1971 to open a graphical design studio, and at the same time took over the control of the Gallery and School Nikon. Later on, he centers all his activities in the industrial design (he prefers to call it "industrial sculpture"), producing a good number of works, with a very personal style, full of originality and avantguardisme.
In 1988 he obtains the Golden Delta Award for the Coqueta chair. In 1990, this chair was selected, with 45 more products of the world, for the International of the State of Baden-Wurtenburg Award, which is granted to the five best products in the field of the industrial design.
