Gianni Moscatelli for Formanova Set of Four 'Bivalve 940' Dining Chairs
About the Item
Gianni Moscatelli for Formanova, set of four 'Bivalve 940' dining chairs, mahogany plywood, nickel-plated brass, Varese, Italy, circa 1959
Made around 1959, these Bivalve 940 dining chairs are designed by the Italian Gianni Moscatelli for Formanova. The evident geometry of the framework enhances the sculptural silhouette of the unit. The construction consists of curved plywood frames fixated to one another through round nickel-plated brass screws. Another defining feature are the outward-facing tapered legs with sharp, diagonal lines and a visually compelling aperture. Every facet is refined through the implementation of rounded contours and the fluid curvature discernible in both the seat and backrest. In all, these rare chairs exemplify the artist's exceptional talent and remarkable ability to create an outstanding piece with an innovative approach while preserving the stylistic tendencies prevalent in that particular period.
