About the Item

Elegant set consisting of four chairs with polished brass structure with beige sheepskin seats in fair condition. The skin is intact in all its parts, it has no lacerations or stretch marks. Designer Luciano Frigerio for Frigerio di Desio production in the 70s. Luciano Frigerio was born in Desio in 1928. His father Giovanni started, from 1889, a high artisan cabinet-making workshop. Luciano attended kindergarten at the Paola di Rosa College in Desio, where he found Tommaso Giussani, who would later be appointed, during his ecclesiastical career, Monsignor, as a classmate. This friendship and mutual esteem would be consolidated over time so much so that Monsignor Giussani himself commissioned in 1982, for Pope John XXIII, two lecterns that are still visible in the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul in Rome, positioned under the Bernini altar. Luciano Frigerio completed his technical-administrative studies price the Collegio Pio XI, graduating in accounting and cultivating since his adolescence two great passions: furniture design and composition for music. The piano would always accompany him, reunions with his musician friends becoming a habit, leading him to compose several pieces of jazz and listening music, some of which were interpreted and played by flutist Severino Gazzelloni. In 1977 he obtained the qualification of Master Composer and, with his registration, obtained the copyrights to his music, which was broadcast on Rai radio. The socio-economic reality of Brianza, offered in those years, strong entrepreneurial possibilities in the art of furniture. The reading of texts and magazines in the sector that he had sent from the United States since the 1960s, the assiduous frequentation of prestigious Canturese workshops, where he often met, leaders of the school such as Gio Ponti, Franco Albini, Carlo De Carli and Tapio Wirkkala, transformed his family business into a company that looked to the international market. In 1973 he was awarded the honor of Commendatore of the Italian Republic. A staff of technicians who worked closely with Frigerio helped him realize his dream: furniture as a unique piece, made by combining and adding together all possible materials of excellence. This gave birth to the Sculpture Furniture in solid wood and the headboards for Sculpture Beds in bronze casting that testify to a new style, different and opposed to the industrial production of that era. Over the years, collaboration was born with some famous Italian architects and designers including Franco Albini, Sergio Asti and later Paolo Portoghesi. Luciano Frigerio asked them to design furniture that could be made in the workshop, from handcrafted specifications, with numbered and signed series with the conviction that an architect could also design a piece of furniture as a unique piece of high cabinet making and not only furniture for industrial production. This philosophy led the company from the 1970s to the 1990s to the opening of ten showrooms in major Italian cities, including the one in Via Montenapoleone in Milan where at that time even high-fashion designers had handcrafted tailor shops. In 1989 he would be knighted by the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. Many pieces of furniture and objects designed by Frigerio can be found in important art galleries in Italy and abroad. Many awards have been received on various occasions: Salone Internazionale del Mobile Italiano from 1975 to 1993, Mobillevante Bari from 1974 to 1983, Abitare il Tempo 1989-90-91-92.
