Dal Vera furniture is all about bringing breezy style indoors. Through its mid-century modern pieces, this Italian manufacturer expanded the depth and breadth of materials used for interior furniture design. The company’s exceptional dining room tables, chairs and chests of drawers feature beautiful woven wicker, rattan and other natural fibers that are more commonly found in relaxed outdoor pieces.
Based in Conegliano in the Veneto region of Italy, Dal Vera was founded in 1884 by Antonio Dal Vera and produced an extensive collection of living and dining room furniture. During its peak in the mid-20th century, Italian designer Flam Sansoni created much of the furniture for the company. Materials like bamboo, glass and leather also featured heavily in its inventive designs, as did brass hardware and handles. Dal Vera’s postwar creations have a more typically mid-century modern appeal, with clean and angular lines inspired by Scandinavian designers such as Hans Wegner. Over the years, the company’s pieces took on a Bohemian style, keeping up with the trends of the time.
Throughout the early 1980s, Dal Vera dining room chairs were used by the Les Arcs ski resort in Savoie, France. They were personally selected by the influential French designer and architect Charlotte Perriand. The company’s high-quality pieces remain in demand with collectors today.

Mid-Century Modern Leather Chair Chosen by Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs, 1960
By Dal Vera
Located in Warszawa, Mazowieckie
This Les Arcs chair was designed and manufactured by Dal Vera, and chosen by Charlotte Perriand for the alpine resort of Les Arcs in the Tarentaise Valley during the 1960s. The frame is made of chrome metal. The seat with the backrest is made of high-quality natural leather in a cognac color. The chair is slight and comfortable. The designer called her chairs "machines for sitting", which were to fulfill the functions for which they were designed and adapt to human needs. Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer. Her work was aimed at creating functional living spaces in the belief that better design helps create a better society. In his article L'Art de Vivre from 1981 he states: The art of living is an extension of the art of inhabiting - living in harmony with the deepest urges of man and with his adopted or fabricated environment. At twenty-four, Charlotte Perriand approached Le Corbusier and asked to join the famous designer studio. Le Corbusier rejected it, commenting on the famous sentence that we do not embroider pillows here. A few months later, after seeing her Bar sous le toi at the Salon D'Automne exhibition in Paris, he apologized and hired her. Perriand worked for him for ten years, working with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret on many projects, most notably the tubular steel chair set...
