Anonima Castelli Bologna Red Leather Italian Midcentury Side Desk Chair, 1960

About the Item

Pair of refined chairs of Anonima Castelli, with a beautiful bright red color. Refinement and class as is the style of the house. Wooden structure, covered in red eco leather, original of the period. Four legs in oakwood lacquered. As you can see from the photos, it has a hallmark of the construction company on the rear of the backrest. Characteristic of the color of red leather, still in perfect condition. Pair of chairs, perfect in front of a desk, or as side chairs. In 1877, in Bologna, Ettore Castelli founded Ebanisteria Castelli, initially consisting of five small artisan workshops specialized in the production of traditional Bolognese furniture. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company became a supplier to several Italian public bodies. Two new factories were opened in Bologna, which would later become the Centro Studi e Progetti. In the 1920s, Cesare Castelli succeeded his father at the helm of the company and in 1930 consolidated the Via Corticella plant as the sole production site, which remained the group's director until the end of the century, although the production sites subsequently became multiple. A sales branch was opened in Rome and a warehouse in Milan. With the entry of the first chief designer, Antonio Nerozzi, the Centro Studi began to adopt an approach closer to the modern concept of design. Restored by the expert hands of our atelier, this item has no defects, but it may show slight traces of use. For each piece, before the departure, a revision is redone, to make sure it arrives in good condition.
