About the Item

These chairs are absolutely stunning. Attributed to Italian designer and architect Paolo Buffa, this set of 6 dining chairs are sleek, refined, stylish and timelessly modern even at around 73 years old. We've had these chairs completely overhauled, ebonized and upholstered in timeless green cotton velvet that effortlessly blends with any modern environment. With their pronounced ladder back, and their emphasized stiletto legs, these chairs are currently paired with a Paul Evans stalagmite dining table and they're stylized enough to make a statement, yet minimalizt enough to not detract from the design. These chairs would look excellent in any midcentury modern, Italian modern, or contemporary environment. These chairs would look excellent paired with a Gio Ponti or Ico Parisi dining table, or perhaps something Danish modern, or modern in style.
