About the Item

Mario Marenco "Sapporo" chairs for Mobil Girgi, reddish-brown leather and beech, Italy, 1970, set of eight. The iconic "Sapporo" chair consists of a particular backrest, conceived with two vertical slats slightly separated. The immediate impact of this chair is strong: the sculptural backrest is connected with the flat front legs, creating a charming combination. With a style close to the iconic "Africa" chairs by Afra Tobia Scarpa, the Italian beechwood combined with the reddish-brown leather seat gives the chair a sense of class and elegance. Internationally known as an architect and designer, few people know that Mario Marenco (1993-2019) has been primarily a great Italian actor. He used to work in collaboration with some of the best manufacturers of the period, such as Poltrona Frau, Artemide, and Arflex. Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.
