About the Item

Available today, this set of 6 Dining Chairs by Giuseppe Scapinelli, are nothing less than spectacular! Presenting a sculptural and elegant set of six dining chairs, each boasting a sculpted backrest and curved legs. The set is entirely made of the finest Caviuna wood, a favorite wood of Giuseppe Scapinelli and the seat and backrest have the original upholstery in a striped cotton fabric. The Caviuna frames have been expertly refinished and remain in excellent condition. Originally from a private residence in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s former capital, these chairs exude sophistication and timeless allure. About the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time. Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more. His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting. Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75.
