About the Item

A set of six chairs produced in Italy by the historic Molteni company, dating back to the 70s and 80s Made of curved plywood veneered in ash wood which adapts, by flexing on the back and seat, to the person's posture, enveloping them. Archetype of the chair, manifesto of an essential design, in which the decoration is left purely to the grain of the light wood. The design of these chairs will strongly remind you of some of the projects by Afra and Tobia Scarpa produced by the same brand, but we are not certain that the Scarpa couple collaborated on the design of these seats. These vintage chairs are in original condition of the time and have not undergone any restoration or modification, therefore they show minimal signs of use such as small scratches and stains and a splendid patina of time. Reach out for any additional questions.
