About the Item

Italian wooden chair from the 1960s featuring a tall, sculptural ladderback with a series of gently arched slats. The frame is crafted from solid wood with turned uprights and legs, displaying a warm, medium-brown patina that highlights the natural grain. The seat is woven in natural rush, providing both texture and visual contrast to the wood structure. Simple stretchers connect the legs, reinforcing the chair’s sturdy yet elegant proportions. Balancing rustic tradition with mid-century restraint, this chair reflects the revival of vernacular forms in Italian design during the postwar period. Ideal as a dining chair, accent chair, or sculptural element in both modern and traditional interiors.
