About the Item

Mid-Century Bentwood and Cane Lounge Chair by Ditta Porino, Italy, 1960s This exceptional bentwood and cane lounge chair, designed by the talented Ditta Porino in Italy during the vibrant 1960s, exemplifies the era's focus on clean lines and modern aesthetics. The chair features a stunning minimalist design that captures attention with its elegantly curved beechwood frame and legs, perfectly complemented by a beautifully woven cane seating surface. The chair is in remarkable original condition, showcasing a delightful natural patina that adds character and warmth to its appearance. Ditta Porino's design approach for this chair is notably innovative, embodying a modular concept that allows for versatile use. The chair transforms seamlessly from a relaxing lounge chair into a gentle rocking chair by simply inverting the two legs—an alteration easily demonstrated in the accompanying images. This dual functionality reflects Porino's forward-thinking vision, anticipating similar modular designs that would not emerge until decades later. While it may be tempting to compare this lounge chair to the Crassevig rocking chair, a notable rival that appeared in the 1970s, discerning admirers will appreciate the subtle differences in craftsmanship. The later Crassevig model features visible screws, whereas the Porino chair showcases a meticulously constructed frame that eschews any visible joints, underscoring a superior level of artistry and attention to detail. This careful construction enhances the chair's aesthetic appeal and speaks to its lasting durability, making it a timeless piece suitable for any modern or classic interior.
