Footnote
Note: Archizoom, which formed in Florence in 1966, was known for its antidesign stance and the exhibitions of radical architecture its members took part in, in Italy in the late '60s and at MoMA in 1972. The group's most famous piece was the uncomfortable-looking 1968 Mies armchair and footrest, which had a chrome frame and a latex sling, and poked fun at functionalism. The Archizoom Uno is chrome with hand-stitched leather in black was made by Marcatre circa 1973.
