Feutre et matelassé magenta, un fauteuil attribué à Gaetano Pesce

Un grand pan de feutre noir se relève et s'ouvre. Le bas, rigide, forme un socle épais que traversent des cordelettes nouées et que terminent, au sol, des languettes découpées en dents ; le haut, plus souple, s'évase en un large dossier enveloppant. L'intérieur est tapissé d'un matelassé magenta, piqué de points réguliers, avec un coussin lombaire posé sur l'assise. Le contraste est franc, entre la matière brute, mate et granuleuse, et le tissu vif et gonflé. On s'y assoit comme dans un manteau.

L'intitulé dit Feltni ; il s'agit très probablement du fauteuil Feltri, que Gaetano Pesce dessine pour Cassina en 1987 selon l'éditeur, en 1986 selon le MoMA, qui le conserve dans ses collections. L'idée lui serait venue en voyant un morceau de feutre absorber la pluie dans la rue. La structure associe le feutre à une résine thermodurcissable à base de polyester : rigide en bas pour porter le siège, souple en haut pour envelopper. La galerie attribue ce fauteuil à Pesce pour Cassina et le date vers 1990, sans étiquette ni certificat mentionnés.

Read in English

A great sheet of black felt rises and opens. The lower part, rigid, forms a thick base threaded with knotted cords and ending at the floor in tabs cut like teeth; the upper part, more supple, flares into a broad enveloping back. The interior is lined with magenta quilting, stitched at regular points, with a lumbar cushion resting on the seat. The contrast is frank, between the raw, matt, grainy material and the bright, plump fabric. One sits in it as in a coat.

The title says Feltni; this is very probably the Feltri armchair, designed by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina in 1987 according to the maker, in 1986 according to MoMA, which holds it in its collection. The idea is said to have come to him on seeing a piece of felt soak up rain in the street. The structure combines felt with a thermosetting polyester resin: rigid below to carry the seat, supple above to envelop. The gallery attributes this chair to Pesce for Cassina and dates it to around 1990, with no label or certificate mentioned.

Sources and points to validate
  • Gaetano Pesce conçoit le fauteuil Feltri pour Cassina en 1987 ; la structure est en feutre imprégné de résine thermodurcissable à base de polyester, rigide en bas et souple en haut. https://www.cassina.com/gb/en/products/feltri.html
  • Le fauteuil Feltri (1986) figure dans la collection du MoMA à New York. https://www.moma.org/collection/works/3765
  • Pesce aurait eu l'idée du Feltri en voyant un morceau de feutre absorber la pluie dans la rue. https://www.artsy.net/artwork/gaetano-pesce-poltrona-feltri
To be validated
  • Attribution à Gaetano Pesce et à Cassina publiée par la galerie ; la fiche ne mentionne ni étiquette, ni numéro, ni certificat.
  • Le nom Feltni est très probablement une coquille de Feltri ; la fiche ne le confirme pas.
  • Datation vers 1990 : le modèle est de 1986-1987 ; la fiche ne dit pas si l'exemplaire est de la première série ou plus tardif.
  • Les dimensions de la fiche (155 x 130 x 50, sans unité) paraissent élevées pour un fauteuil Feltri seul et doivent être vérifiées, de même que la présence éventuelle d'un élément supplémentaire.
  • Le MoMA (page non ouverte, titre relevé dans les résultats de recherche) et Cassina donnent des années différentes ; l'état du feutre, les taches et la résine ne sont pas décrits.
