Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig Stools

Italian, 1896-1945

An accomplished architect, exhibition designer, furniture maker and magazine editor, Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig helped direct Italy’s rationalist architectural movement until his death near the end of World War II. Wounded twice and captured twice in World War I, Pogatschnig left military service to work as the editor and director of Casabella architecture magazine and went on to design the V Milan Triennale and VI Milan Triennale alongside fellow Italian architect Gio Ponti.

Originally born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now modern-day Croatia, Pogatschnig studied Italian in Trieste before joining the Italian army to serve in the First World War. After that harrowing and traumatic experience, he became a founding member of the first Fascist Party in Parenzo. In 1924, he graduated from Turin Polytechnic with an architecture degree and began designing bridges, pavilions and buildings, including the Gualino office complex, in Turin. Nearing 1928, Pogatschnig began work on pavilions for the Turin International Exhibition.

Pogatschnig’s involvement in the V and VI Milan Triennales stand today as some of his greatest contributions to Italian architecture. He held full control over the design of the latter exhibition, in 1936, which led to the opportunity to design many of the interiors of the Italian Pavilion at the Paris Expo the following year.

Pogatschnig’s reputation as an architect and designer were overshadowed only by his outspoken nature as an editor. By 1942, he openly criticized the Italian regime and left the Fascist Party to join the resistance a year later. These activities led to his capture, imprisonment and escape from Brescia in 1944. Ultimately, Pogatschnig was recaptured, tortured and transferred across prisons to Austria’s Mauthausen concentration camp, where he died on April 22, 1945, less than a month before the end of fighting in Europe.

By Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig

Located in Almelo, NL

Pair of Italian Modernist Woven Cord and Metal Lounge Chairs, Attributed to Giuseppe Pagano, 1940s Rare and highly decorative pair of Italian Modernist lounge chairs from the 1940s, attributed to Giuseppe Pagano. These striking armchairs feature an exceptionally light and architectural construction, combining slender black-finished metal frames with warm wooden details and beautifully woven natural cord seats and backrests. The geometric basket-weave pattern creates a strong graphic appearance while retaining the functional simplicity and restrained aesthetic associated with Italian Rationalism and early Italian Modernism. Particularly distinctive are the long wooden armrests, which provide a warm contrast to the elegant black metal structure. The slightly reclined backrests, low seating position and beautifully balanced proportions give the chairs a relaxed yet sophisticated appearance. The combination of metal, wood and natural woven cord gives these chairs an honest and highly tactile material quality. Their open construction makes them particularly attractive from every angle, including the rear, allowing them to be positioned freely within a room. Both chairs remain in exceptionally beautiful original vintage condition. The woven cord, wooden components and black-finished metal frames have been very well preserved and retain a wonderful authentic patina. A sophisticated and unusual pair of Italian lounge chairs with a strong architectural presence, suitable for both important private interiors and professional interior projects. The chairs are offered as a matching pair of two. Attribution The chairs are attributed to Giuseppe Pagano based on their design characteristics and previous market attribution. No manufacturer's label or documentary provenance confirming the attribution is currently available. For this reason, the chairs are conservatively offered as “Attributed to Giuseppe Pagano.” Details Designer: Attributed to Giuseppe Pagano Period: 1940s Country of Origin: Italy Style: Italian Modernist / Italian Rationalist Number of Pieces: 2 Sold As: Pair Materials Black-finished metal Wood Natural woven cord Dimensions – Each Chair Width: 65 cm / 25.59 in Depth: 55 cm / 21.65 in Height: 75 cm / 29.53 in Seat Height: 35 cm / 13.78 in Condition Excellent original vintage condition. The chairs have been exceptionally well preserved and retain their beautiful original woven cord, wooden elements and black-finished metal frames. Only very minor signs of age and use are present, fully consistent with pieces dating from the 1940s. The original materials display a beautiful and authentic patina, and the overall condition is remarkably good for their age. No major restorations or replacements.
