About the Item
Set of 3 Italian Mid-century Modern Wooden and Green Velour Chairs, 1948
Coveted set of 3 chairs in perfect shape, beautiful details on the wooden structure and precious cushioning in great conditions.
BBPR was a studio of architects, urban planners and designers, composed by Gian Luigi Banfi, Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Enrico Peressutti and Ernesto Nathan Rogers. Founded in Milan in 1932, the studio was a vivid part of the debate of the modern movement, becoming one of the leading exponents and masters of the Italian design. The first important intervention project was designed in 1946, after the war and the loss of Banfi: the planning of the reconstruction of Milan. At the IX Triennale in Milan, when the birth of Italian design (1951) began, they organised the exhibition “The shape of usefulness” (with Francesco Buzzi Ceriani and Max Huber). In the area of design, apart from the chairs for arflex, still in production, they produced the very innovative office furnishings “Spazio” for Olivetti, the silver teapot service for Calderoni and Emma handle for Olivari.
BBPR architects were influential in shaping the architectural landscape of Italy and beyond. They embraced the principles of rationalism and functionalism while incorporating elements of the Italian Renaissance tradition. Their designs often featured clean lines, geometric shapes, and a strong connection to the urban context.
