Bontempi Casa Yes Folding / Stacking Chair

Sergio Giobbi was born in 1942 in the Pisa neighborhood, spending his childhood between shipyards and workshops, developing a deep passion for everything "under construction". He graduates in Architecture at the Florence University , where he remains from 1970 through 1980 as assistant teacher of Interior Design collaborating with Leonardo Savioli. He then enters the Savioli staff, dealing with important projects and concourses, including the Lamezia Terme airport. In the same time he begins to work in the furniture industry, achieving excellent results. His design research has always been focused on two basic issues: the modularity of the elements to be matched together and to result highly industrialized, and the movement to make the product easier to be exploited by the consumer. In 1980 an architecture project of his is exhibited at the Venice Biennale, and he is also awarded with the "Construction and Furniture Oscar." In 1983 he wins the "Challenge for a rational furniture proposal" of Tuscany region. In 1987 begins his collaboration with Segis, a very creative relationship also due to the company technological know-how. He designs several products, among the latest the Clip-Clap and the Et voilà tables. During the '90s many of his have been selected for the "Premio Design Italian" award in Rome. In 2003 a miniature of his project has been exhibited at the Padua show "La Grande Svolta Anni '60". His work is mentioned on such international design books and magazines as "Industrial Design Review", " Repertorio del Design italiano" and others. Collaborates, among others, with: Albet Laminates, Bontempi, Busnelli GI, Giovannetti, Steel Line, Toncelli and, naturally, Segis. Lives and works in Florence.
