Vico Magistretti’s Selene (1969) became an icon of Italian design — the first chair made from a single piece of heat-hardened plastic. Born from years of experimenting with new plastics, it turned the material from “cheap imitation” into modern luxury. Its curved seat and backrest wrap around the body for real comfort, while Artemide’s innovative molding tech made production possible in just five minutes. A true milestone of ‘60s design.
