About the Item

An outstanding example of late-20th-century Italian design, this Teatro side chair—created by acclaimed architect Aldo Rossi in collaboration with designer Luca Meda—embodies the refined geometry and poetic rationalism that define their work. Manufactured by Molteni, one of Italy’s most respected furniture makers, the chair showcases exceptional craftsmanship and enduring quality. Expertly constructed in solid cherry wood, the frame presents warm natural tones, graceful lines, and a sculptural silhouette that feels both architectural and inviting. The chair has been newly reupholstered in Kvadrat Topas, a luxurious 100% pure wool crepe in a striking Royal Blue. The rich texture and color of Topas complement the clean form of the chair, elevating its timeless elegance. A rare opportunity to own a collectible Post-Modern piece with fresh, high-end upholstery—perfect for design enthusiasts, curated interiors, or as a standout accent in any contemporary space.
