About the Item

An elegant and architecturally refined set of four rosewood side chairs designed by Renato Venturi for MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni), Italy, circa 1963. These lightweight yet robust chairs feature gently tapered legs, finely detailed joinery, and original beautifully worn leather seats—patinated to perfection through decades of honest use. The chairs were originally paired with a convertible dining/game table designed by Ico Parisi for MIM, highlighting the sophisticated modular approach that characterized MIM's offerings in the early 1960s. Together, the table and chairs formed a cohesive suite, blending Parisi’s bold modernism with Venturi’s more restrained, architectural design language. Check out our listing of the table. Published in Domus No. 402 (May 1963), page 131, this model represents MIM's commitment to modern living—bringing high-design solutions into both corporate and domestic settings. MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni) was a pioneering force in postwar Italian furniture, known for its collaborations with top designers and its sophisticated use of woods, joinery, and innovation. An excellent choice for collectors or designers seeking rare, documented Italian modernist seating with provenance and sculptural appeal.
