"My Dear Chair" by Sergio Savarese for Dialogica, United States 1980s
About the Item
Sergio Savarese (1958-2006) was a furniture designer and co-founder of Dialogica. After finishing his formal education and practicing geology, his career shift brought him to design, with the creation of a footstool. Savarese, along with his wife, Monique, created a portfolio of work and took part in furniture fairs which led to the couple opening their own store chain; Dialogica, one of the first retailers in SoHo to feature contemporary furniture designs.
Sergio Savarese’s work was known for its lyrical shapes and unique design elements. With soft curves and organic forms, pieces designed by Savarese brought effortless beauty to the world of interior design. The “My Dear Chair” model exemplifies these attributes, through it’s simple, yet impactful look. The chair is sleek, with a classic structure complimented by the soft curvatures of both the backrest and the legs. The simple, yet elegant look provides a sense of visual and physical comfort due to its lack of straight lines and its use of smooth materials. From the soft, earthy toned upholstery which covers the padded seat, to the rich shade of the wood, this piece is reminiscent of nature and of how uncomplicated great design can be. Without unnecessary ornamentation, the main adornment of this piece is found at the top of the backrest. The antler-like elements allow one to presume the designer drew inspiration from nature. Savarese’s pursuit of well thought-out design can be traced to the model’s name. From what can be interpreted as a reference to the cosiness of the chair, or a clever play on words highlighting the unique detailing of the design, ‘My Dear Chair’ reminds us of the importance of paying attention to the smallest of details.
In 2006, Sergio Savarese tragically passed away in a plane crash, and with him, his unique approach to design. Savarese’s spirit lives on though creations like this chair, which is not just a piece of furniture, but a companion to daily life and a mark of an admirable design ethos.

Set of Four "Africa" Chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto, Italy 1975
By Maxalto, Afra & Tobia Scarpa
Located in Utrecht, NL
The 1960s and 1970s saw Italian interior design become world renowned and revered. This set of four “Africa” chairs were born from the creative genius of design-duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa in the mid-1970s. They are a perfect combination of simplicity, functionality, and aesthetic.
This set was part of the Artona line by the Scarpa’s and was also the first line ever produced by Maxalto. The company was originally set up in 1975 as an exclusive branch of B&B Italia to focus solely on the production of artisanal furniture that was primarily crafted from wood. As we find ourselves in a design era that embraces the nostalgia of the mid-20th century, this set of four serves as both an homage to the past and a testament to the timeless allure of Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work. In these chairs, the pattern and grain of the walnut backrests is striking, showing the traces of history in every line and mark. Sensitive touches enliven the design, visible in the careful craftsmanship and quality of woodworking with impeccable joinery that masterfully utilises nothing but the wood itself. The colour of the leather seats matches the walnut body beautifully, further enhancing the visual appeal. Another impressing element is the centrally placed back leg that continues upwards to form the backrests, highlighting the Scarpas’ architectural...
