About the Item

Designed in the 1970s, these chairs are a true embodiment of Italian mid-century design. This stunning set of six ‘Dolly’ swivel chairs by Moscatelli for Formanova seamlessly blends elegance, comfort, and functionality. With their striking silhouette, newly upholstered fabric, and smooth swivel base, these chairs are an eye-catching addition to any dining or office space. Formanova was an Italian design company established in the mid-20th century. Formanova gained recognition for its innovative and elegant pieces that seamlessly blended form and function. The company collaborated with prominent designers of the era, including Gianni Moscatelli, who created several notable designs for Formanova. Moscatelli's work with the company includes the 'Poney' swivel chair, characterized by its sleek lines and modern aesthetic and has some similarities with the ‘dolly’ chair. Design Designed in the 1970s, the Dolly model is known for its sculptural, inviting form, featuring curved armrests and a generously cushioned seat that ensures lasting comfort. The bold yet refined angular backrest creates a striking profile. Each chair has been professionally reupholstered in rich, warm orange/red fabric, enhancing its sophisticated look. The deep color complements the sleek metal base. The brushed steel swivel base adds to the chairs' practicality, allowing for smooth rotation and effortless movement. The metal frame bears the embossed Formanova mark. Condition The chairs are in very good condition. Please pay attention to the fact that one of the chairs has four ‘legs’ instead of five. The steel base has normal signs of wear and tear, where the seats are completely restored and re-upholstered.
