Esse Dining Chair Quickship

The Esse Dining Chair Quickship by the legendary Venetian design house Pianca is a breathtaking exercise in fluid, organic minimalism. Masterfully conceived by French designer Philippe Tabet, its name is a beautiful play on words: "Esse" is the Italian pronunciation for the letter "S", paying direct homage to the continuous, winding curves sculpted into the chair’s profile. While ordering custom furniture from an Italian atelier normally requires a standard 16-to-20-week wait, the Esse Dining Chair Quickship is ready to be delivered to your dining room in just a few weeks.

The core visual magic of the Esse chair is its intentional rejection of rigid, boxy lines, opting instead for a soft, feminine contour that brings movement to contemporary spaces. Shaped like an elegant, flowing ribbon, the continuous backrest sweeps downward to form the seat base in a single, uninterrupted line. This creates an open and airy look that keeps your dining room feeling spacious. To contrast the soft, fully upholstered seat, the chair rests on slim, tapered metal legs finished in a lustrous, high-glamour High Gloss Titanium. This structural, high-contrast pairing grounds the chair with a touch of modern Italian sophistication while keeping the underlying sightlines incredibly clean. 

A common flaw with ultra-sleek minimalist dining chairs is that they can quickly feel stiff or unforgiving. The Esse completely avoids this by integrating high-performance mechanics beneath its textile. The interior frame is constructed from a structurally resilient, molded polyurethane foam core. Unlike standard foam glued to a rigid piece of wood, this molded engineering possesses a subtle, natural elasticity.
