Guido Chiappe set of 8 dining chairs made of beech and rope, Chiavari, 1950s

About the Item

A rare set of eight dining chairs was produced in Chiavari during the 1950s by the renowned cabinetmaker Guido Chiappe. These "Chiavarine" chairs are exceptional finds, as they were crafted in very limited quantities at the time. Chiappe's design philosophy seamlessly blends classic and rustic aesthetics with a touch of modernity. The result is a harmonious fusion that perfectly captures the essence of mid-century Italian furniture. The chairs feature a beech frame, which imparts durability and a warm, inviting character. The newly caned seats not only enhance their vintage charm but also provide comfort and support. Measuring 41x40x89 cm (DxWxH) with a seat height of 45 cm, these chairs are both elegant and functional, making them an ideal choice for any dining space. They have been professionally restored and finished to ensure their excellent condition, preserving their historical significance. These chairs, though rare, are a testament to Guido Chiappe's mastery and the timeless appeal of mid-century Chiavari design.
