About the Item
The mid-to-late 20th century marked a golden era for Italian interior design. Amidst a booming economy and a newfound sense of optimism, Italian designers began to explore and experiment with form and function, and create iconic pieces that defined the period. Resulting from this era are timeless pieces of classic design that remain highly sought after and appreciated to this day.
The silhouette is the central visual element of this pair, as their low profile and strong presence dominate the model. The wooden frame showcases a raw, natural grain, providing visual depth and a sense of craftsmanship that speaks to the period's emphasis on quality materials. The joinery is understated but solid, allowing the structure to feel sturdy without heaviness. Adding a touch of understated luxury, the cushions covering the chairs further create natural visual comfort. They are adorned with delicately tufted buttons, arranged in a timeless pattern. Undoubtedly this pair fulfills its functional purpose, ensuring comfort. Thanks to the excellent craftsmanship, the user can enjoy a comfortable sitting experience, while the slightly reclined seats allow for a relaxed position. These functional aspects also reflect the Brutalist design principles, emphasizing minimalist form and practicality. The exposed joints and structural elements are reminiscent of industrial design, celebrating the beauty of rawness and mechanical ingenuity.
While the second half of the 20th century saw the takeover of mass production and many - now iconic - futuristic designs, this pair preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Countering the often quite vivid colours and designs of the era, the beautiful wooden frame is paired with light-toned upholstery.
