Bbpr Attr. to Set of 12 Wooden Mid-Century Chairs in Bouclé

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.

Tiny Wooden Chairs in Style African

Located in Milano, IT

Beautiful pair of small Style African chairs, dating from the 1960s. The small chairs are made entirely of wood and, as can be seen from the type of design, in Style African .
