About the Item

Pair of ‘Rialto’ armchairs designed by Finnish architect and designer Carl Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs in 1957. Original models produced by his own furniture company, Puunveisto Oy. First edition in teak with spring cushions. Rare on the market. Carl Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs had a discreet career in the world of design. Today, his work is recognised worldwide. This armchair combines several crafts: wood and leather. The result is fabulous. It is both minimalist and sophisticated. It was designed and exhibited for the 11th Milan Triennale in 1957. The teak frame with its curved legs is made from a single piece of wood, and the cabinetmaker's assembly of the straight armrests is perfect. The refined look is achieved thanks to the black leather upholstery on the armrests and the weaving of the backrest with the same material. The armchair, a functional object, becomes a luxurious decorative item. The seats and backrests are also covered with a new ecru bouclé fabric. Very good condition.
