In 1982, Charles Randolph Pollock created Penelope, a true design classic. The American designed a light and flexible project for Anonima Castelli. Penelope consists of a sled base in steel wire supporting a mesh seat covered in Rilsan. The elastic effect of the base is underlined by a polyurethane tube that acts as a shock absorber. The armrest covers, made of the same material, offer additional comfort. With Penelope, Pollock has made a new form of seating a reality.
