About the Item
Alessandro Becchi “Toscanolla” dining chairs for Giovannetti, brown ashwood and straw, Italy, 1970, set of ten.
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.

Mario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mobil Girgi, Mario Marenco
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design.
They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern.
Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures.
Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied architecture in Naples and won research grants for Stockholm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of architecture and...
