About the Item

Mario Marenco “Sapporo” dining chair for Mobil Girgi, beech and patinated cognac leather, Italy, 1970 A rare variant of the iconic Marenco’s “Sapporo” chair, this version shows a strong personality and this is immediately recognizable, with some unconventional leather impactful details. This sculptural version consists of two specular decorated slats slightly separated. The backrest is engraved and forms an L shape. The two cylindrical wooden legs on the front part support a large seat in patinated Cognac leather. With style close to the iconic “Africa” chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, the beechwood combined with the leather seat gives the chair a sense of class and elegance.

Mario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mobil Girgi, Mario Marenco
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...
