About the Item

A pair of elegant 'April' folding chairs, designed by the trail-blazing female Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti. Designed in 1972 for Zanotta and inspired by a classic directors chair, these folding chairs are a nod to the classic whilst being effortlessly striking in their own way. Produced from chrome-plated steel with canvas base and backrest. Effortlessly foldable. Highly collectible pieces - they would work beautifully around a small dining table, or as a bedroom or study chair. See photos for condition - some marks are visible but not obvious when folded. These chairs are 53 years old! Featured in the Italian architecture and design magazine Domus, Issue 516, November 1972, page. 37 Worldwide shipping available at a fee. Local collection available.
