About the Item
An arresting study of balance and tension, this sculptural chair defies the boundaries of conventional seating. With its woven rattan surface and sinuous iron frame, it evokes both organic fluidity and geometric precision, standing as an artifact of experimental postmodern design.
Of Italian provenance and dating to the 1960s, the chair reflects postmodern and Brutalist influences. The interplay of handwoven rattan and blackened iron creates a striking contrast, each material imbued with an inherent honesty that deepens over time. The chair’s composition is a dialogue between weight and weightlessness, structure and softness. The finely woven rattan, marked by the passage of time, bears subtle tonal shifts and a patina that speaks to its authenticity. The iron frame—minimal yet expressive—outlines the form with architectural clarity, emphasizing negative space and sculptural intent. Aged imperfections, from the gentle fraying of the rattan to the darkening of the iron, enrich its character rather than diminish it.
Time has bestowed a quiet grandeur upon this piece. Its softened edges, textured patina, and minor surface irregularities serve as testaments to its authenticity, each mark a remnant of its lived history. The structure remains sound, preserving the chair’s distinctive silhouette and presence.
At once functional and artistic, this chair offers a commanding yet understated presence within interiors that embrace sculptural furniture, material honesty, and conceptual design. Ideal for settings that honor Brutalist minimalism, Wabi-Sabi imperfection, or modernist experimentation, it is a rare and evocative statement of form.
An exceptional collector’s piece. For inquiries regarding provenance or placement consultation, we welcome engagement from discerning connoisseurs.
