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.
