About the Item
This rare set of four Space Age chairs from the 1960s is a striking example of early futuristic design that emerged in post-war Italy, reflecting the optimism and experimentation of the era. With elegantly curved smoked plexiglass seats and sleek chrome metal frames, these chairs embody the spirit of innovation and material exploration that defined the Space Age movement. Their transparent surfaces and reflective structure create a visually light and sculptural form, making them equally suitable as dining chairs or accent pieces in contemporary or retro-inspired interiors.
What makes this set particularly unique is the combination of form and material—ahead of its time and rarely found in such well-preserved condition. The smoked plexiglass retains its original tone with only minor surface wear, while the chrome frames show light patina consistent with age. The chairs are comfortable, sturdy, and visually impactful—perfect for collectors or design enthusiasts seeking authentic mid-century Italian style. Their rarity and period-correct aesthetic make them not only functional pieces but also valuable design artifacts that tell the story of a pivotal moment in design history. Given their condition, provenance, and bold character, they are well worth the investment.
