About the Item
Set of Twelve Chiavari Chairs in lacquered beechwood with a two-tone woven cord seat, “Baletta” model, featuring frames in light pastel blue and pink. Crafted in Chiavari, Italy, 1960s.
One of the most appreciated Chiavari chair designs of the 20th century is the “Baletta” model. Its simple and slender lines make it suitable for any type of interior. The backrest features three horizontal rails, while the legs are distinguished by ball-shaped feet—a characteristic that inspired its name (baletta means “little ball” in Genoese dialect). This design first appeared in Chiavari manufacturers’ catalogs in the 1940s. The model’s versatility lies in its capacity for customization, allowing individuals to express their unique tastes and creativity.
Here, we present a set of chairs in the charming “Pink & Blue” version. Playful and original, these chairs focus on color contrast while maintaining harmony through the delicacy of the chosen pastel tones. For the newly woven seat, an ancient knotting technique, traditional to coastal towns of Italy, has been revisited using a cord in two natural shades. The colors and materials, steeped in tradition and a long history of craftsmanship, enhance the appeal of this exquisite group of “Tre Stecche” chairs.
This "Him & Her" set is perfect for furnishing a dining room or a social gathering space. A group of twelve chairs with a fluid identity, they are bold and unconventional, playing with color and challenging norms, inviting everyone to consider the question: “Pink or Blue?”

Located in Waalwijk, NL
Vico Magistretti, set of six dining chairs model ‘Carimate’, stained beech, rush, Italy, designed circa 1960
The ‘Carimate’ chair is one of Vico Magistretti’s most famous chairs. Originally designed in a red color for the ‘Carimate Golf Club’ in Italy, a place that Magistretti himself designed.

Since Magistretti was very confident about the success of this model, he requested a patent for the construction and the joints in 1963. Due to the architectural, open frame the ‘Carimate’ chair has a strong expression. The angular frame has two curved armrests that add a dynamic appeal. Where the frame...
