Set of six Italian Mid Century Collectible Medea Wood Dining Chairs by Tagliabue

About the Item

Set of six very rare and highly collectible "Medea" wood dining chairs, designed by Vittorio Nobili for Italian manufacturer Tagliabue. The present version is the most elegant and iconic one, with bare wood shell seats and no armrests, as opposed to iterations featuring either armrests, leather upholstery or both. The chairs are preserved in untouched original conditions. They show signs of use throughout but are not damaged and still fully usable and enjoyable. The "Tagliabue" engraved signature is visible underneath. The black-painted iron legs, brass bolts set in the seat and wood all show an even and attractive patina. Two sets of six chairs are available; please reach out in case you would like to purchase both or rearrange the numbers.
