Mart Stam Bauhaus English Red Leather MG5 Dining Chair for Matteo Grassi, 1976
About the Item
Set of Six MG5 Dining Chairs Designed by Mart Stam for Matteo Grassi, 1970s.
This set of six MG5 dining chairs features:
- Tubular dark grey anodized steel frames in a cantilever design
- Red leather seating, backrest, and armrests
- Signature stamped on the back of the backrest
Excellent vintage condition
About the Design:
The MG5 chairs are a reinterpretation of the iconic cantilever chair initially designed by Mart Stam in the late 1920s. Matteo Grassi’s production in the 1970s adds an Italian touch, incorporating high-quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship. The contrast between the sleek, dark grey anodized steel frame and the vibrant red leather upholstery creates a bold yet timeless aesthetic. The cantilever structure, which allows for a slight flex, ensures comfort without compromising on minimalist design principles.
About the Manufacturer:
Matteo Grassi is renowned for its expertise in leather craftsmanship and innovative furniture design. Collaborating with esteemed designers, the brand has established a reputation for producing pieces that combine elegance, functionality, and durability.
Historical Context:
The cantilever chair represents a milestone in modern furniture design, breaking away from traditional four-legged structures. Matteo Grassi’s MG5 series pays homage to Mart Stam’s original concept while showcasing advancements in material quality and construction techniques.
Why These Chairs Stand Out:
The MG5 dining chairs are a rare blend of Bauhaus-inspired design and Italian craftsmanship. Their striking combination of materials, clean lines, and historical significance makes them an exceptional addition to any dining room or modern interior.
