About the Item
Alessandro Becchi “Toscanolla” dining chairs for Giovannetti, black ashwood and straw, Italy, 1970, set of four
Designed by Becchi for Giovannetti in 1970, the “Toscanolla” chair has a presence that’s both grounded and relaxed. The cone-shaped ash legs give it a solid, almost architectural stance, while the handwoven straw seat and curved backrest bring warmth and a natural rhythm to the silhouette.
When placed together, the chairs read like a quiet installation — a dialogue of texture, light, and volume. There’s a clarity to the design that feels aligned with Charlotte Perriand’s “Dordogne” chairs: the same instinct to elevate rural materials through a modern lens, keeping things essential but characterful.
Up close, the Toscanolla reveals what makes it special: the density of the weaving, the soft curve of the back, the subtle grain of the wood tapering toward the floor. Nothing is exaggerated, yet everything feels intentional.
A straightforward, well-crafted chair with its own attitude — easy to place, easy to live with, unmistakably Italian.
This set comes from Giovannetti’s original 1970s stock, available exclusively in Modernab collection.
