La Seduta Esaurita di Rosi

“This chair was a gift from my mother-in-law, 25 years ago. It had been bought by my father-in-law in the 60’s, and had then become the favorite chair of my husband. Sadly, neither of them is still with us.”

“And now, this restored object, which shines today in the living room, is a symbol of the centrality Claudio and Marco have in our hearts. I dedicate it to my mother-in-law who will shortly turn 100.”

If my chairs had a name,
it would be Dilla.
Its zodiac sign would be Gemini.
Its personality—spirited, scrappy.
And its favorite song would be
”A Natural Woman”
by Aretha Franklin.
