“The name Chain comes from the idea of conveying the image of a roll of fabric, which is divided into equally sized sections and ‘unrolled’ along the perimeter of the backrest,” explain the designers.
The concept of comfort takes shape in the rising and falling upholstery of the backrest, which brings linear order while also adding vibrancy. Despite its sculpturesque appearance, Chain conjures up images of people sitting around freely, in an informal, easy-going atmosphere.
The sequence of padded panels is an unconventional design choice that combines a rigorous image with a pop spirit. It highlights the carefully crafted workmanship by Twils, which has embraced an innovative, contemporary take on upholstered furniture. Despite their compact size, the sofa and armchair designed by Meneghello and Paolelli can make a big impact on their surroundings.

There is an enchanting appeal to the use of modular components. Simple and tidy but also versatile, they are imbued with an innate sense of great constructive freedom and beautifully balanced proportions.
Meneghello and Paolelli have made their architectural scale into the focus of Chain, an upholstered furniture collection containing a sofa and an armchair.
Sandro Meneghello and Marco Paolelli, product designers and strategic industrial design consultants, established the design studio Meneghello Paolelli Associati.
