A Pair of Wood and Rattan Armchairs, Italy Mid-20th Century

About the Item

The mid-20th century marked a golden era for Italian interior design. Amidst a booming economy and a newfound sense of optimism, Italian designers began to explore and experiment with form and function, and create iconic pieces that defined the entire period. Resulting from this era, are timeless pieces of classic design that remain highly sought after and appreciated to this day. This pair of armchairs combine remarkable style with balance, functionality and premium materials. Rattan, used for everything from basket weaving to furniture making had found extensive use and appreciation in the context of modern 20th century design. Thanks to its unique characteristics, rattan adds an element of texture and lightness, contributing to the overall visual balance of the pair. The chairs benefit further from the sturdy wooden frame which grounds the design. Not only do the materials complement each other, but the shades of brown, and textural variety go perfectly together, adding depth to the design. These chairs display graceful curves, from the arched armrests and their geometric elements to the splayed back legs. These elements create a subtle contrast with the grid-like pattern of the woven rattan on the backs and on the seats. Undoubtedly this pair fulfills their functional purpose, ensuring comfort. Thanks to the excellent craftsmanship, the user can enjoy a comfortable sitting experience without the need for upholstery, while the slightly reclined seats allow for a relaxed position. Representing both interior decor and practical pieces of art, this beautiful pair of Italian armchairs make for the perfect addition in both modern and classic interiors.
