About the Item

This radical Italian chair in all its simplicity is designed by the thinker and creator of art Ugo Marano. It is a high back chair made of pine wood and basically consists of four elements of which the backrest seems to have a peculiar detail. ‍Design An orange-red glow radiates from this object. The knots and flame markings of the pine provide an attractive decoration that when you look through your eyelashes creates a kind of kaleidoscope-like effect. Another simple but effective design element is the shaved base of the legs. As a result, the frame does not sit tightly on the floor, but rather appears light-footed.The seat is not completely straight, but to some extent raised to the level of an ergonomic compromise. A striking detail is the abstract human figure or silhouette that protrudes a few millimeters from the wood and is secured to the edge of the backrest with dowels. Condition The condition of this item is good with diffuse scratches and minor wear.
