About the Item
A composition of sculptural clarity, this suite of six Italian high-back chairs embodies a language of refined austerity and measured grace. Evoking the spirit of Gio Ponti, René Prou and André Arbus, each chair expresses the quiet authority of mid-century Italian design—where elegance was distilled into elemental form.
Framed in solid oak of a deep, resonant tone, the chairs rise in tapering verticality, their high backrests reading as architectural gestures—slender spines that anchor the eye. The squared silhouettes are softened by a disciplined curve, a subtle inflection that balances poise with invitation.
The seats and backs are clad in vivid yellow vinyl, their smooth, unbroken surfaces providing a deliberate contrast to the richness of the timber. This chromatic dialogue—vibrant upholstery set against dark oak—imbues the ensemble with a restrained exuberance, a nod to the optimism of the French decorative tradition without surrendering to ornament.
Executed with exacting craftsmanship, each joint is resolved with clarity, each plane finished to reveal the natural character of the wood beneath its satin sheen. The legs descend in slender tapers, terminating in brass-capped feet that punctuate the composition with a discreet glint of luxury.
Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by JADA to maintain structural integrity while honoring the original materials.
The chairs read as a study in proportion and restraint—elevating the domestic ritual of gathering with their presence alone. They speak to an era when furnishings became instruments of order and dignity, imparting a sense of ceremony to the simplest of spaces.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
