About the Item

Italian Mid-Century Brass & Leather Magazine Rack (c. 1950-1960) by Enrico Franchi. While many magazine racks serve merely functional purposes, this exceptional piece transcends utility to become a true design statement. Originally crafted during mid-century Italy's design renaissance, it represents a perfect marriage of materials and form. The brass frame features gently tapered legs that not only provide stability but also create a visual lightness. Meanwhile, the vegetable-tanned leather sling has developed a rich patina over decades, becoming softer while remarkably retaining its strength. Notably, the leather attaches to the brass frame with discreet brass screws, demonstrating the maker’s attention to detail.

Alberto Rocchi Brass and High Gloss Black Formica Art Deco Style Armchairs 1980s
By Alberto Rocchi
Located in Dublin 8, IE
What can one say about our French art deco style cube chairs ? Well firstly, If looks could kill these chairs would be mass murderers. In my opinion these are possibly one of the most stunning pairs chairs on the market today, the impact of these chairs and the contrast of the materials makes for some serious eye candy. The chairs themselves are a wood frame clad in a gloss black formica and trimmed in brass. The seat is one large and firm cushion and the back cushion is like a bolster style cushion. The fabric is a green cotton velvet. Due to the materials used we imagine that the chairs likely date from the late 70s / early 80s. We believe they are Italian. There are various suggestions of the creators name online such as Alain Delon however we believe the plaque bearing the signature on the side of the chairs says A Rocchi...
