Augusto Bozzi’s collaboration with Saporiti Italia in the 1950s and 1960s marked a significant period in Italian mid-century design, combining Bozzi's sculptural aesthetic with Saporiti’s dedication to innovation and high-quality craftsmanship. Bozzi’s designs for Saporiti, such as his signature lounge chairs, are celebrated for their striking yet minimalist forms, characterized by dynamic, curved lines and slender, often black-lacquered metal frames.
One of Bozzi's most iconic pieces from this collaboration is the "Kosmos" chair, which exemplifies his approach: sculpted to cradle the body while resting lightly on metal frames, creating an almost floating appearance. This chair, and others like it, represented a departure from the bulkier furniture styles of the time, instead focusing on lightness and ergonomic comfort.
