About the Item

Alessandro Becchi “Toscanolla” dining chairs for Giovannetti, ash and straw, Italy, 1970, set of six. 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. Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.
