About the Item
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 - for Alberto Rocchi an Italian designer. If you do know the maker / designer please get in touch. We see these chairs as a more formal pair of chairs they are not necessarily designed to sit and watch tv in simply because the hard frame and firm seat might not be cosy for a whole night. However that said they would look incredible in an office or hotel setting.
From our research these pieces seem to have been manufactured in Low numbers so this is a great chance to have something fairly unique. Condition wise the chairs are in very good original condition. We never say excellent as every one has different standards of excellent but these chairs will not let you down condition wise. The brass is real brass and not plate which means that every few years a quick polish will restore the brass back to its full glow. The formica is fresh and clean and easily wiped down and buffed. The chairs may have a few marks here or there but nothing bad and definitely something one should expect from a piece of this age. We love the feel of these chairs, they have a gravitas that comes with mid-century pieces and one you don't always get with box fresh pieces.
Very easily shipped anywhere in the world.
**** Please note -
We have a matching two seater / loveseat sofa that we will list in a separate listing.
