DISTANCE & AFFINITY, Saba Italia

In a world where design and art frequently intersect, the collaboration between Antonio Marras and Saba stands as a beacon of creative synergy. This partnership brings to life seating solutions that are as unique as they are exquisite. The 'New York' collection, designed by Sergio Bicego for Saba, features chairs with or without armrests, upholstered in the evocative "Faces" textile by Antonio Marras on an elegant ecru linen base.

These chairs, available in four variations, each represent a subject from the 'Unique Pieces' collection, originally hand-drawn by Marras for the “Distance and Affinity” project. The lightness of his gesture and the poetic sensibility that defines the Sardinian artist are woven into the very fabric of Saba's catalogue, offering a blend of comfort and visual delight.

The Marras + Saba collaboration exemplifies the power of combining diverse artistic disciplines. By interweaving these threads, they create chairs that serve a functional purpose while telling a rich, emotional story. This partnership captures the essence of Italian heritage and innovation, demonstrating that even seemingly distant ideas can be united through a shared affinity for creative expression.

At its core, the collaboration between Antonio Marras and Saba showcases the magic that occurs when art and design come together. It highlights the beauty of interdisciplinary creativity, resulting in chairs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply significant in cultural and emotional terms. This partnership exemplifies how different fields can intersect to produce timeless and contemporary pieces, each rich in narrative and artistic depth.

The Marras + Saba collection is more than just furniture; it is a celebration of artistic collaboration and the enduring spirit of Made in Italy. Through their shared vision, Marras and Saba invite us into a world where every chair is a story, every design a dialogue, and every creation a masterpiece of intertwined creativity.
