About Dcl Sella
Dcl est sella tota ex tabula fibrarum densitatis altae confecta. Omnis pars machina CNC dicta exsecatur. Sella colore claro et solido pingitur, et quilibet color adhiberi potest. E longinquo visa, Dcl paene similis est cubo solidi coloris potius quam sellae. Consilium sequitur studium sellae ab architecto et designatore Italico Cesare Leonardi factum, quod exemplar ligneum mansit neque umquam productum est. Nomen Dcl significat Dopo Cesare Leonardi, id est Post Cesare Leonardi. Sella quinquaginta quinque per quinquaginta per septuaginta centimetra metitur.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 55 x 50 x 70 cm
- Tags
- chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
- Production Technology
- HDF cut in a CNC router.
- Design Challenge
- In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
- Research
- I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
- Inspiration
- My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
- Operation Flow
- It's a chair.
