Eugenia Alberti and Gian Luigi Reggio, Set of 8 Italian Dining Chairs

About the Item

A remarkable set of eight dining chairs designed by the Milanese duo Eugenia Alberti and Gian Luigi Reggio during the 1950s. These chairs are a prime example of the organic modernist aesthetic that defined high-end Italian furniture production in the postwar era. The design is centered around an extraordinary sculptural backrest featuring a series of fluid, wave-like horizontal slats that intersect to create a dynamic "X" pattern. This intricate woodwork is balanced by slender, tapered legs that give the chairs a light and sophisticated profile. The seats are currently upholstered in their original reddish-brown skai (eco-leather), finished with perimeter studs that underscore the artisanal construction of the period. Their collaboration is characterized by a sophisticated approach to organic modernism, where the expressive potential of wood is integrated into innovative, non-linear geometries. Their work, often featuring these signature "X" backrests, represents the bridge between traditional Italian craftsmanship and the avant-garde language of Mid-Century Modernism.
