Pair of Guido Coletti Sculptural Modular Chairs (1995) - Hand-Painted Collage
Experience a striking fusion of art and design with this pair of sculptural modular chairs by Italian artist Guido Coletti, crafted in 1995. Bold and expressive, these chairs feature vivid hand-painted surfaces and graphic collage details that transform functional seating into dynamic art pieces. When placed side by side, their angular backs align to form a whimsical, abstract heart-shaped bench - a playful statement that instantly draws the eye into any contemporary interior. Each chair's silhouette and colorful imagery reflect Coletti's signature neo-Dada aesthetic, making this set a conversation-starting centerpiece. The artistic vision behind these chairs comes from Guido Coletti's background as a painter and sculptor known for blending elements of collage, bold color and three-dimensional form. Each chair is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted composition: built on a solid metal frame and sculpted with plastic and resin panels, every surface is decorated with energetic layers of bright colors, patterned shapes and found-image graphics. The result is a truly unique design object-a pair of chairs that look like playful abstract sculptures. Vibrant brushstrokes and collage elements create depth and texture, echoing Coletti's innovative "combine-art" style. This artistic approach ensures no two panels are the same, giving each seat an individual expression while maintaining a cohesive, eye-catching aesthetic across the pair. In terms of function and versatility, these modular chairs shine as much for their flexibility as their looks. They work wonderfully as two standalone armchairs, each a bold sculptural form in its own right. Placed together, they seamlessly interlock into a single functional bench, their heart-like forms nesting to create an intimate seating configuration. This ingenious modular design makes them perfect for a range of settings-from a gallery or design showroom where they can be displayed as a single art-installation piece, to a living space seeking an avant-garde focal point. Beyond seating, they double as collectible art objects, ideal for any design enthusiast or collector who values original, handmade statement pieces.
