Set couple barrel-shaped oak armchairs with table year 1960 available
About the Item
In the 1960s, at a time of great creative ferment, a furniture set was born that combined tradition and innovation. This set, consisting of two barrel-shaped oak armchairs and a matching round coffee table, was a tribute to the natural beauty and craftsmanship of the time.
The inspiration for this set came from the idyllic landscapes and wine traditions of the Tuscan hills. The wineries and vineyards, with their oak barrels used for aging wine, offered the central idea. The intent was to transpose that rustic beauty and feeling of warmth and coziness into home furnishings.
The Creative Process
**Barrel Shaped Armchairs:**
The choice of solid oak was due to its durability and the beauty of its grain. The chairs were shaped to evoke the curves of barrels, with a wrap-around shape that offered comfort and a sense of protection. Wood craftsmanship was key, with each piece carefully selected and processed to ensure superior quality. The interior upholstery was made of high-quality materials and covered in soft leather in shades that harmoniously complemented the wood.
**Round Table:**
The round coffee table was designed to create a visual balance with the armchairs. The polished oak top highlighted the natural grain of the wood, while the slightly flared legs, typical of 1960s design, gave lightness and stability. The simple and functional design of the coffee table made it a perfect complement to armchairs, integrating practicality and elegance
When the set was presented at a design exhibition in Milan, it immediately received great appreciation. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics struck a chord with critics, and the set quickly became a symbol of 1960s Italian design. He was celebrated for his ability to combine beauty and functionality, bringing a piece of Tuscany into homes.
Today, these armchairs and the round coffee table are considered highly sought-after vintage design pieces. Each element of the set tells a story of love for craftsmanship and nature. The armchairs, with their wrap-around shape, and the round coffee table bring a fragment of the Tuscany and elegance of the 1960s into homes. To own them is to have a piece of Italian history, a tribute to oak wood and the timeless beauty of good design.
