About the Item

Elegant pair 1940s side hall chairs in mahogany laquered, Melchiorre Bega attributed, with springs seat; neoclassical stylized LIRA backrest. Feet in embossed gilded brass. Chairs of great image in the neoclassical style interpreted in the Mid-century modern period Already in the thirties and forties it was the Domus di Gio Ponti that reserved ample space for the presentation of Bega's projects, which are mainly homes for the upper middle class in Milan, Bologna and Rome. Casa Dellepiane (1939) and Casa Galimberti (1939), both in Milan, like the R. Apartment in Rome (1942), testify to a cultured but pragmatic, not radical attitude, which introduces elements of a rationalist modernity - see in this regard, the plastic volume of the internal staircase of Casa Dellepiane - in the context of traditional domestic interiors, in their materials and in the shape of their spaces. The single-family houses such as Villa Pace (1940), the Villa in Lodi of the same year and the house he built for himself on the Bolognese hills (1941) confirm his non-purist approach, which combines a certain desire for abstraction and decorative simplification of modernist ancestry The first bars, shops and pavilions date back to the same period: in this case too, Bega confirms himself as an eclectic designer, capable of ranging from the monumentality of the Caffè Grande Italia in Piazza dell'Esedra in Rome (1938) to the metropolitan-futurist fascinations of the Motta Shop. of Milan (1934) and above all of the Perugina Pavilion at the Milan Fair (1934), an interesting and typical example of those years of dialogue between architecture and typography.
