About the Item

Erberto Carboni graduated in architecture at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Parma, he immediately started working as a graphic designer, opening a studio in his hometown (he developed advertising material for some local companies). He also began to work as an illustrator, collaborating with some publishing houses in setting up the iconography of volumes of consumer fiction. In 1932 he moved to Milan and became an appreciated stand designer for exhibition pavilions within cultural and trade fair exhibitions: in the Thirties, there were the graphic concepts for the Italian Air Show at the Triennale di Milano (1934), for the International Expo in Paris (1936) and for the stands for Faesite and Montecatini at the Milan Fair (1940). Here we have a beautiful pair of armchairs mod. Delfino designed in about 1960. Lacquered metal structure with brass details and fabric covering.
