About This Piece

Contemporary Design

The Tripolina Chair in a luxurious brown leather is characterized by its original elegance. This unique piece of Italian artisanal mastery comes with a dark frame and brass joints. It is made of top-quality ash clothed by a 100% Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather upholstery. Vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition that the Tuscan tanneries have handed down from father to son for centuries, mixing antique recipes and state-of-the-art technology. Telami Tripolina with Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather means choosing a one-of-a-kind object.


Designed in 1855 by the English engineer J.B. Fenby, this type of folding chair was licensed to Italian companies from the early 1900s. One of these companies had the intuition to supply it to the Italian settlers in Libya, where its very fast and lightweight folding mechanism made it ideal for outdoor living, gardens, and scientific and military expeditions. The chair was such a success that it became the quintessential 'Tripoli chair' or 'Tripolina'. Following the war, the Tripolina saw a new wave of success thanks to its use by great architects, such as Franco Albini and Giuseppe Terragni. This enshrined it conclusively as an international icon of style. Telami Tripolina is today handmade in Italy. Its foldable superior-quality solid ash frame makes it extremely functional and easy to transport. The chair can be fully customized on request. Please contact Pamono for options.

About the Maker

Telami

Telami specializes in beautiful, functional furniture classics handmade in Italy. Blending fashion and design, Telami's mission is to bring product customization into the world of traditional Italian artistry. The fabric of Temami chairs has been designed by Berlin fashion brand Odeeh and Milan design diva Rossana Orlandi. More collaborations are in the works.

At this time, Telami offers contemporary takes on two iconic furniture designs: the Tripolina Folding Chair and the Director’s Chair. New designs are sure to be added in the future.

Telami was founded in Milan in 2017 by Leo Prusicki, who formerly helped to launch Eligo, another Italian brand focused on contemporary productions of traditional Italian artisanal works. Both brands stand for quality, craftsmanship, and style.
