Gio Ponti "Ninfea" Hand-Woven Folding Chair for Fratelli Reguitti, Italy 1950s

About the Item

Fabulous "Ninfea" folding chair designed by Gio Ponti for Fratelli Reguitti in Italy during the 1950s. In the super rare hand-woven wicker version, completely original and in fabulous condition. A masterpiece of postwar organic Italian design, it perfectly combines functionality, lightness, and formal elegance. The frame is made of dark-stained bentwood, while the seat and backrest were hand-woven in rattan wicker. The sculpted armrests and fluid curves recall the organic shape of a water lily—Ninfea in Italian. Fully foldable, it’s practical for storage or transport, while remaining a highly decorative and collectible piece. The piece is branded "Brevetti Reguitti – Made in Italy" on the structure. An iconic and rare piece of Italian mid-century design, ideal for collectors, design dealers, or refined interiors. Dimensions open (cm): Height - 45 Width - 55 Depth - 44 Dimensions closed (cm): Height - 58 Width - 55 Depth - 5 Bibliography: Domus magazine, multiple issues from the 1950s and 1960s, edited by Gio Ponti.
