About the Item

Set of Eight Italian Dining Chairs Attributed to Paolo Buffa - 1950s Natural Wood and Woven Cord Seats This elegant set of eight Italian dining chairs from the 1950s is attributed to Paolo Buffa, based on the craftsmanship, material selection, and stylistic details. Buffa, one of the masters of Italian design, is known for blending classical refinement with modern architectural influence-and these chairs are a perfect reflection of his aesthetic. Each chair is handcrafted in solid wood and features a handwoven checkerboard seat in natural cord, offering both texture and comfort. The standout feature is the geometric open-backrest, composed of intersecting wooden elements in different wood grains-meticulously arranged to form a reticulated lattice reminiscent of neoclassical or French decorative motifs. The curved lower supports on the sides add a soft, sculptural touch that balances the structured design. These chairs blend traditional woodworking with architectural precision, making them a refined choice for elegant dining rooms, natural-chic interiors, or classic contemporary spaces. Their light, airy construction allows for a sophisticated presence without visual heaviness, and their natural tones are perfect for modern interiors that emphasize material authenticity. Whether used as functional seating or displayed as collectible mid-century pieces, this set represents fine Italian craftsmanship, postwar design elegance, and the timeless vision of Paolo Buffa.
