Ledermann

by Pellizzoni

Designer

Tom Kelley

Born in East-Germany, after political problems and Stasi-Prison he studies in Aachen, Munich and then in Long Beach (California). Initially both painter and designer, brought by his work and studies to Italy, where he lives more or less since 20 years in Venice. He worked for many companies in several countries. Looking always for simplicity, he sees himself as primarily an observer, and believes that after a while all its observations become shapes, colors, projects and words. In these last recent years, in addition to the prominent work as designer, he restored private houses, including the famous Villa of Michael Thonet.

Ledermann

Collection Ledermann has a wooden frame with 4 legs, in tubular conical shape. Seat and back are covered with leather. Back can be completely covered, joining to the seat or just with a leather strap in “light” version. Linear geometries characterized by a simple but sharp-cornered cut and the combination of two substantial materials like wood and leather recall the naturalness of Scandinavian design.
