Enrico Delmonte set of four "Gobbetta" chairs, Chiavari, Italy, 1960s

About the Item

A rare set of four "Gobbetta" chairs, expertly crafted in the early 1940s by the esteemed cabinetmaker Enrico Delmonte. Fashioned from high-quality ebonised beech wood, these chairs exhibit a delicate balance between lightweight construction and robust durability, accentuated by distinctive and captivating light backrest. Each seat has been meticulously hand-woven with straw in our artisanal atelier, paying homage to the cherished caning tradition of Chiavari. Remarkably weighing less than 2.60kg per chair, their portability is unmatched, facilitating effortless relocation. Professionally restored, these chairs have undergone meticulous attention to preserve their structural integrity and aesthetic allure. The newly woven seats guarantee both comfort and visual splendour. Boasting dimensions of 43cm in depth, 41cm in width, and 95cm in height, these chairs epitomise well-proportioned and ergonomic design, rendering them a versatile addition to any lounge or kitchen. Furthermore, the 46cm seat height ensures comfortable seating at standard dining tables. The Chiavarine design has indelibly influenced the realm of design, inspiring eminent figures such as the renowned Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti. His iconic Leggera chair in the early 1950s and the groundbreaking Superleggera chair in 1958 both bear the unmistakable influence of the Chiavarine's exceptional blend of sturdiness and lightweight craftsmanship.

Batwing Brass Chiavari Chair Gothic Green Velvet 1960s

By Chiavari

Located in Melbourne, AU

A splendid brass example of the Chiavari style first developed in the coastal town of Chiavari, south of Milan, Italy. This particular specimen is in excellent condition, with a lovely recent restoration of the upholstery, well cushioned, in a tasteful dark green velvet. The chair is in very sound condition and is of a higher quality than others we have handled - notably the shaping of the feet and the back are particularly fine. The original Chiavari chair is a delicate-boned creature in light-weight timber, designed to be both light and strong. It’s turned timber frame gave the opportunity for elaborate decoration which was popular in the mid to late 1800s. The brass version was created in the 1950s as a playful reference to the original, the brass emphasising the elaborate framework. It’s intended as a decorative chair for hallways, as a bedside chair, or can be used as a feature chair...
