HOT ! Ancella Chair by Giovannetti

The Ancella Chair by Mauro Lovi for Giovannetti is a distinctive Italian-designed chair that blends comfort, function, and whimsical elegance. Conceived by designer Mauro Lovi for Giovannetti in the early 1990s, Ancella was originally launched in 1994 and has remained an eye-catching piece in modern interiors ever since. Crafted around a solid wood frame—typically in beech with options for natural, walnut, or cherry finishes—the chair is upholstered in shape-retaining polyurethane foam covered with protective fabric. Its clean yet playful profile makes it equally suitable for a bedroom, dressing room, or walk-in closet.

What truly sets Ancella apart is its thoughtful multifunctionality and character. The backrest cleverly doubles as a beechwood coat hanger, evoking the visual metaphor of a garment on a hanger while serving a practical purpose. The seat lifts to reveal a discreet storage compartment, perfect for stashing items out of sight, and the removable cover adds convenience for care or customization. Optional finishes such as gold or silver leaf on the wooden components further elevate the chair’s aesthetic, merging utility with artistry in a form that feels both sculptural and inviting.

Made in Italy by Giovannetti.
