Aldo Deli Studio is set to make waves at Salone del Mobile 2025 with the debut of the Evelyn armchair, a project that perfectly blends innovative design and aesthetic appeal. The Evelyn armchair stands out as a remarkable piece, born from the idea of creating a seat with an essential structure, using the fewest possible elements while maintaining full functionality.
The Evelyn armchair.
Aldo Deli, the creative force behind the project, explains, 'We adopted generative design as a leading tool during the creative process.' The goal was clear: to minimise material usage while maximising structural integrity. In the early design stages, the focus was on creating an algorithm for the chair frame. As Deli describes, 'This process allowed us to understand the problem parametrically and make the most conscious design decisions.'
By defining a base shape and establishing a variation domain, the design team ensured that the final structure would not only be aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound. The result is a chair that gracefully balances vertical and horizontal loads on the backrest. The entire structure is crafted exclusively from wood, emphasising a clear distinction between the chair's frame and seating surface.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Evelyn armchair is its practicality. As Deli notes, 'By merging the legs and frame into a single structure, we created a flat-packable design that can be assembled without tools in just a few minutes.' This modular approach also allows users to replace individual components, offering both durability and customisation opportunities.
The Evelyn armchair's unique combination of mathematical precision and visual appeal underscores the studio's commitment to thoughtful, forward-thinking design. Its innovative features, coupled with a strong visual identity, make it an ideal addition to modern living spaces.
Aldo Deli's design philosophy is rooted in simplicity and innovation. After earning a master's degree in architecture, Deli found his passion in scaling down from architectural structures to intimate, everyday objects. This approach is reflected in the Evelyn armchair, which Deli describes as 'a combination of fresh aesthetics and mathematical calculations, delivering a one-of-a-kind appearance and a strong character.'
Deli's journey into the world of design was inspired by his upbringing. As he recalls, he grew up in a home where objects, "always silent protagonists," played a significant role. This early fascination with design evolved into a passion that Deli nurtured throughout his academic and professional career. Today, his studio is known for its focus on furniture, lighting, and homeware, driven by the pursuit of simplicity and innovation.
Aldo Deli Studio's commitment to exploring the hidden potential of every project has led to long-lasting collaborations with international companies and private clients. The Evelyn armchair, with its innovative approach and captivating design, is a testament to the studio's dedication to creating objects that become timeless companions in everyday life.
Salone del Mobile 2025 will provide a fitting platform for this exceptional piece, inviting design enthusiasts to experience the blend of creativity and functionality that defines Aldo Deli Studio's work. As Deli eloquently puts it, 'Objects become companions of our everyday journey, designed to reach a timeless permanence in our lives.'
