Set of Four Orange Leather Tucroma Chairs by Guido Faleschini for Mariani, New
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Currently, the most coveted dining chairs by interior designers are 'Tucroma' chairs by Guido Faleschini for i4 Mariani, and we have this incredible set of four (4) Tucroma armchairs in beautiful hot orange leather with polished chrome frames. The seats and backs have supple orange leather upholstery and are attached to graceful polished steel tubular frames, as well as being bridged together by wide orange leather straps at the back with hand-tied detail. Signed with Mariani label.
This set is brand new, with tags and each chair in its own Mariani box. The leather option selected for this set was an upgraded full grain Italian leather and is much thicker and higher quality than vintage examples. This set of 4 are available immediately and we have 8 more chairs available if you wish to make a larger set, contact us for details.
i4 Mariani was a specialty Italian design division of the Pace Collection and Guido Faleschini was the star designer who created famous designs such as the Tucroma line and a line of bedroom furniture for Hermès. Mariani still produces the Tucroma chair to the same specifications as the 1970s along with a full line of high quality designs with expert Italian craftsmanship. We carry a large selection of designs by i4 Mariani and Guido Faleschini, contact us if you are looking for anything else.
This is an interior design magazine cover worthy set of chairs and would look so amazing with a marble or travertine dining table, such as designs by Angelo Mangiarotti and Roche Bobois or lacquered goatskin tables by Karl Springer and Steve Chase.
This sleek set of dining / arm / side chairs by Guido Faleschini for Mariani would inject some 1970s Italian modern into any interior and would compliment various locations such as a Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Postmodern, neoclassical, or Transitional dining room...

François Arnal Z Stool
Located in PARIS, FR
The Z Stool by François Arnal was created in 1970, it is made of folded smoked polymethylmethacrylate. This material, more commonly known as Plexiglas, allows the creation of lines of great fluidity while maintaining sufficient rigidity to serve as a seat. The Z Stool is one of a series of works in Plexiglas imagined and sometimes realized by Arnal. Some are unique creations, others, like this stool, have been edited.
Following its acquisition in 1994, a version of this stool is now on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris).
François Arnal (creator), Atelier A (director), Mobilier Modulaire Moderne (editor), Stool Z, circa 1970.
Beautiful original conditions, some slight signs of use.
BIOGRAPHY
François Arnal (1924-2012) is mainly known for his career as a painter but he was also a sculptor, writer and designer. He designed furniture under the aegis of Atelier A for a fairly short period of five years between 1969 and 1974. Atelier A, created by the latter, was a laboratory for artistic research. The creators taking part in this adventure are not designers but artists such as Robert Malaval...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
