Pair of Italian Modernist Woven Cord and Metal Lounge Chairs, Attributed to Giuseppe Pagano, 1940s
Rare and highly decorative pair of Italian Modernist lounge chairs from the 1940s, attributed to Giuseppe Pagano.
These striking armchairs feature an exceptionally light and architectural construction, combining slender black-finished metal frames with warm wooden details and beautifully woven natural cord seats and backrests.
The geometric basket-weave pattern creates a strong graphic appearance while retaining the functional simplicity and restrained aesthetic associated with Italian Rationalism and early Italian Modernism.
Particularly distinctive are the long wooden armrests, which provide a warm contrast to the elegant black metal structure. The slightly reclined backrests, low seating position and beautifully balanced proportions give the chairs a relaxed yet sophisticated appearance.
The combination of metal, wood and natural woven cord gives these chairs an honest and highly tactile material quality. Their open construction makes them particularly attractive from every angle, including the rear, allowing them to be positioned freely within a room.
Both chairs remain in exceptionally beautiful original vintage condition. The woven cord, wooden components and black-finished metal frames have been very well preserved and retain a wonderful authentic patina.
A sophisticated and unusual pair of Italian lounge chairs with a strong architectural presence, suitable for both important private interiors and professional interior projects.
The chairs are offered as a matching pair of two.
Attribution
The chairs are attributed to Giuseppe Pagano based on their design characteristics and previous market attribution.
