About the Item

The Turin-based cabinetmaker's workshop Apelli & Varesio was established in the mid-1940s by Francesco Apelli and Lorenzo Varesio, to produce wooden moulds for foundries. Until the late 1950s, eight to ten employees created elaborate, handmade prototypes, interiors, and furniture in very small quantities for the designer Carlo Mollino. Influenced by Scandinavian furniture design, Mollino developed - together with Apelli & Varesio - his own method for producing complex plywood forms. The workshop also completed projects for the architects Franco Campo and Carlo Graffi, with whom Mollino collaborated. Here we have this set of Six Chairs designed and produced by Apelli and Varesio in about 1950, in wooden structure and seat covered in fabric. The seats are in very good condition, fully original and ready to be shipped.
