Series of 4 Luigi Gorgoni Chairs for Roche Bobois - 1970s
About the Item
Striking set of four vintage chairs with a bold, sculptural design, attributed to iconic Milanese designer Luigi Gorgoni for Roche Bobois in the 1970s.
Crafted with a solid elm wood frame and full-grain terracotta leather seats and backs, these chairs exude strong presence and an architectural silhouette. The design is typical of Gorgoni’s signature style: clean lines, noble materials, and assertive proportions.
These rare pieces integrate beautifully into mid-century, brutalist, or contemporary interiors. Perfect for a dining room, creative workspace, or high-end interior design project.
The leather is stretched, creating an elegant, tensioned minimalism, while the wood displays a warm, natural patina.
Condition: Very good vintage condition – minor wear consistent with age
About the designer:
Luigi Gorgoni was a Milan-based designer active primarily in the 1970s and 1980s. Known for his clean, sculptural forms and refined material use — wood, marble, lacquer — his most notable collaborations were with French luxury furniture brand Roche Bobois, for whom he designed a range of iconic pieces including dining tables, desks, and sideboards still sought after today.
Key characteristics of Gorgoni’s work:
Architectural, streamlined lines
Use of geometric volumes
Bold materials: often exotic woods with glossy finishes or metal accents
A balance between Italian modernism and French luxury
