Description
The Ultralight Chair by Desalto, designed by Francesco Rota in 2026, reimagines contemporary metal seating through a distinctive combination of minimalist design, engineering precision, and visual lightness. Its slender tubular steel frame challenges the traditional perception of metal as a visually heavy material, creating a refined structure defined by clean lines, precise joints, and carefully considered proportions. Lightweight and easy to handle, the chair combines practical functionality with an elegant silhouette, making it an excellent addition to contemporary dining rooms, kitchens, offices, and sophisticated commercial interiors.
The chair’s distinctive seat features a tubular steel frame covered with a specially developed, shaped two-tone knitted fabric. Designed for durability and long-term stability, the technical textile envelops the structure while adapting naturally to the seat’s shape, combining resistance with everyday comfort. For an alternative aesthetic and feel, Ultralight is also available with an integral polyurethane seat, offering a continuous, compact, and durable surface that preserves the chair’s minimalist character.
Every detail reflects Desalto’s expertise in metalworking and its commitment to innovative contemporary furniture design. The slender frame and essential geometry create a discreet yet distinctive presence, allowing the chair to integrate seamlessly into a variety of modern interiors. Combining lightweight construction, advanced materials, functional performance, and refined Italian craftsmanship, the Desalto Ultralight Chair is a versatile seating solution for contemporary residential and professional spaces. Made in Italy.
