The central concept behind YOUNG LADY, an armchair with a Viennese cane backrest, is its three-legged structure crafted from die-cast aluminium. The design merges two elements that may seem formally distinct at first glance: a lightweight, rotating tripod base in die-cast aluminium—complete with a visible shock-absorbing mechanism—and an embracing shell made of Vienna cane, stretched over a solid wood frame that has been hot-bent and precisely machined. This blend of aesthetics and functionality makes the armchair well-suited for a range of settings, from the home to the home office. More about Paolo Rizzatto: Born in Milan in 1941, he earned his degree in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan. His work spans the construction and interior design of both private residences and public buildings across Milan, Bologna, Novara, Chieti, and Formentera. In 1991, he began collaborating with Alias, designing the Young Lady armchair. This was followed by the Young Boy stool in 1993 and the Flexus sofa in 2000. His later designs for Alias include the New Lady and New Lady Soft chairs in 2018, the Violon armchair in 2022, and the Plettro table collection, which received the Archiproducts Design Award that same year. Since 1997, he has taught courses in lighting design at both the Domus Academy and the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he continues to live and work.
