About the Item
Iconic Malaina fibreglass chair designed by celebrated Italian designer Rodolfo Bonetto for Driade, exemplifying the bold experimental spirit of 1970s Italian modern design. Sculptural and architectural in form, this chair features a fluid, monolithic silhouette with rounded edges and a striking cantilevered structure that blurs the line between art and functional furniture.
Crafted in molded fibreglass with a high-gloss black lacquer finish, the Malaina chair is both visually powerful and highly collectible. Its futuristic aesthetic reflects the era’s fascination with space-age forms, radical design, and innovative materials—hallmarks of Italian postmodern and radical design movements.
A true statement piece, this chair works equally well as a collector’s design object, accent chair, or sculptural seating in contemporary, modernist, or minimalist interiors. Highly sought after by collectors of Driade furniture, Rodolfo Bonetto designs, and vintage Italian seating.
