About the Item
The iconic “Dondolo” chair is a sculptural masterwork in bent bamboo and woven rattan, forming a dramatic elliptical silhouette that envelops the sitter in relaxed, ergonomic comfort.
The architectural design features a continuous loop frame with a gracefully integrated headrest and foot support. The cantilevered sling seat is handwoven from natural rattan, offering breathability, warmth, and striking visual texture. A perfect balance of form and function, this piece reflects the innovation and elegance of 1960s Italian design while channeling a distinct organic modernism.
Ideal as a centerpiece in a lounge, reading nook, or indoor sunroom, the Dondolo adds a sculptural element to minimalist, coastal, or bohemian interiors. A collectible piece for serious design enthusiasts and collectors of Italian mid-century furniture.
