PALCHETTO
DESIGN BY SAM HECHT AND KIM COLIN, 2022
The Palchetto upholstered outdoor seating system is inspired by the architectural elements found in Italian—style theatres, the boxes or “palchetti” where spectators take their seats to watch performances. Consisting of one or more upholstered elements, which can be used alone or combined to create different configurations, Palchetto features a quick coupling and release system between the various modules, which can then be arranged as desired. The seating is soft and comfortable with a memory foam seat and backrest with elastic straps, which echoes the same shapes as Palco, an upholstered outdoor seating system where the seats rest on a platform, and with which Palchetto can be combined.
