Pratone represents an irreverent design idea that is light years away from the usual types of middle-class interior design of the 1970s. It has then become a point of reference in the history of design. Long green stalks among which we can sink and lie, it is an unconventional seat, a chaise lounge outside tradition values, a portion of garden deliberately out of proportion.
Although having been conceived with a precise inclination towards serial composition - so much so that it can be integrated to recreate a whole carefree green field within the home walls, Pratone is in all respects a radical project. An icon of the anti-design cultural revolution. It is an object for single or collective rest - temporary, unstable, always to be conquered due to the elasticity of the material.
Starting from two opposite mysteries - the grass as biological reference, and the material for industrial production as artificial presence - this seat finds its place among the formal research aimed to free people from some of the conditionings of their habitual behavior.
