About the Item

In an elegant fusion of past and present, this extraordinary set of 12 chairs embodies the quintessence of 1950s Italian design. Attributed to the celebrated B.B.P.R. group of designers and architects, these chairs are a sublime example of Italian craftsmanship, where fine craftsmanship is combined with a timeless aesthetic vision. The chairs feature a wooden frame of apparent simplicity, where rigid, geometric lines lend a sense of stability and rigor. However, this formal austerity is delicately balanced by the aesthetic softness of the seat, upholstered in a fine white bouclé. The contrast between the rigidity of the structure and the softness of the seat creates a harmonious dialogue, an encounter between form and function that makes these chairs not just objects of everyday use, but true works of art. The supporting legs, four solid wood elements, are sturdy and powerful, but with an inherent beauty that lies in their purity and simplicity. Between the side and front legs are elegant wooden tubulars, which add a touch of refinement to the structure without interrupting the overall visual harmony. The real twist is found in the backrest, where three wooden tubulars meet toward the top, creating a refined detail that lends lightness and originality to the chair. It is in these details that the skill and craftsmanship of the B.B.P.R. attr. group manifests itself, capable of transforming an ordinary object into an exclusive design element. These chairs are gorgeous, ideal for settings that demand elegance and stage presence. Whether in majestic dining rooms, where each chair becomes a throne of style, or in conference and meeting areas, where form meets function in perfect balance, these chairs gracefully impose themselves, adding a touch of history and design to any space they inhabit. They are more than just chairs; they are living testaments to a golden age of Italian design, ready to be revived in modern settings, where their timeless beauty can continue to enchant and fascinate.

Set of Six Italian Vintage Chairs in Wood and Dark Green Leather
Located in Milano, IT
Lovely set composed of six wooden chairs designed in the 50's, of fine Italian manufacture. The structure of the chairs is linear, with four supporting legs, with a pointed shape, while the back is straight with a slightly curved cut of the wood. The chairs are entirely made of light wood in the frame, while dark green leather in the seat. The seat and back are connected: in fact, the leather upholstery rises from the seat to the middle of the back, giving a unique touch to the seat. The leather is fixed to the structure by means of round brass studs in patina, typically vintage. Another peculiarity of the chair is the shape of the top of the backrest, which sees the woodwork at the two ends create two soft indentations, while the middle part goes down more, creating a beautiful ornament. The shape of the chair seat is also peculiar, as towards the outside it becomes more pointed and the wood also tapers, while going towards the center of the seat the wood is thicker and strengthened. The chairs are very beautiful and are ideal for furnishing vintage...
