About the Item

Beautiful elegant and practical dark brown leather swivel armchair Features a tilting base with four practical castors Signed at the bottom of the backrest Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. The history of Matteograssi began in Mariano Comense, a small town located in a small area called Brianza, located in Lombardy, a region of northern Italy, where the head of what was to become a dynasty of leather craftsmen opened a workshop in 1880. The sign over the entrance read "Selleria" or "Saddlery". Inside, the Grassi family - Matteo and his wife, and later on, his sons -would carefully craft articles made of coach hide, such as saddles, bridles, reins and the full harness, which horses need to work and transport. At the time, the Brianza district was mostly a farming area, and the Grassi family business adapted to the needs of an agricultural economy in which the ability of the craftsman and his skills in coming up with solutions, were the key to success. At the end of the Second World War, the family business took on a different character. Brianza started to become one of the liveliest industrial furniture areas in Italy, and the Grassi family paid close attention to the changes that were occurring. From the 1950s to the '70s, thanks to their lenghty experience crafting the saddlery, the family began producing coach hide components for other companies and their many customers included almost all of the most celebrated names in furnishings. As this work was performed, contact was made on daily base with designers and architects who would follow the various steps in the production process. Thus, the family developed a passion for design, along with a special talent and style, which ultimately led to the decision to found the Matteograssi line of furnishings. The first item bearing the company's name was the Korium armchair by TitoAgnoli, an immediate success that brought the creativity of this small, dynamic firm under the spotlight. Since then, Matteograssi has enjoyed uninterrupted success and growth. After more than hundred years in business, its name is now well known by Designers and Architects the all around the world. Although the old Saddlery seems to have little in common with a company that is known the world over, there is a strong bond between the two. That bond is the coach hide itself... and much more beyond. The 19th century farms in Brianza and today's modern designers are the skills of craftsmen who intelligently follow the changes in taste and in the economy, adapting their knowledge and experience to the needs of the present.
