About the Item

Gigi Sabadin “Peota” dining chairs, 1971, set of eight. The Gigi Sabadin "Peota" dining chairs for Stilwood, designed in 1971, showcase the great craftsmanship capacity of the artist. Crafted from curved, lacquered plywood, the chair's design appears deceptively simple. It resembles a classic four-legged chair from the front, but the seat and backrest are a single, curved plywood piece perfectly contoured to fit the human body. The front legs are angled, while the rear legs feature smoothly rounded feet, both made of shaped ash wood. It's worth The chairs draw their name from the traditional Venetian boat "Peota," which was once used for regattas and leisure, adorned with elaborate decorations and propelled by eight rowers in costume. This connection is reflected in the chair's elegant, fluid form, reminiscent of the boat's graceful movement through water. Sabadin's work is known for its originality and craftsmanship, particularly his woodworking expertise, despite his metalworking background. As well as other renowned artists of the age, such as Giuseppe Rivadossi in Italy and Pierre Chapo in France, his designs emphasize functionality and innovation, reflecting a minimalist approach focused on technical and formal invention. The "Peota" chair, like much of his work, demonstrates an understanding of materials and aesthetic research that result in modern yet timeless forms.

Mario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mario Marenco, Mobil Girgi
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design. They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern. Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures. Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied archi­tec­ture in Naples and won research grants for Stock­holm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of archi­tec­ture and...
