About the Item

Throughout the 20th century, and particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, Italian design reached its pinnacle of stylishness. By that point, the phrases "Bel Design" and "Linea Italiana" entered the lexicon of furniture design. The 1970s was a decade of mass production and innovation that signalled the end of the post-war rebuilding programme. However, unique designs and the overflow of creativity were still just as present, giving birth to outstanding pieces such as this pair of chairs. It was in the 1970s that Gasparucci Italo began creating a range of bamboo style designs, including this pair. This pair of armchairs exemplifies a sophisticated blend of natural materials and mid-century modern design. Crafted with a sturdy bamboo frame, the chairs display the iconic organic aesthetic that was characteristic of Italian design in this period. The bamboo's natural texture is highlighted by the skillful weaving and combination of angles and subtle curvature of the frame, creating a relaxed yet refined silhouette that speaks to the era's appreciation for craftsmanship and the use of sustainable materials. The chairs have been reupholstered in a light, striped fabric, offering a fresh feel to the original design. The soft, cushioned seats and backs enhance comfort, while providing a clean contrast to the earthy bamboo frame. This juxtaposition of quality, durable materials underscores the timeless appeal of the armchairs, making them a versatile addition to both vintage and contemporary interiors. This pair of armchairs combines Italian elegance and modern aesthetics, resulting in a timeless look which is full of modern energy that will endure for generations. This is also thanks to their exceptional visual quality, and uncompromising level of craftsmanship. Each chair exudes a sense of relaxed elegance, bringing a touch of Italian sophistication and natural beauty to any living space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some minor marks and scratches on the wood. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
