About the Item

Discover the timeless elegance of the 1970s with the Giovanni Carini 'Libellula' chairs, designed by renowned Italian designer Giovanni Carini and manufactured by Planula. These chairs are celebrated for their minimalist yet functional design, featuring seats and backs composed of two bands of sleek black leather, elegantly stretched across a chrome-plated steel rod frame. The chairs are preserved in their original vintage condition, displaying signs of natural wear on the leather that add character without any tears. The chrome finish of the steel framework provides a stunning contrast to the matte leather, enhancing the visual appeal of these iconic pieces. Ideal for collectors and design enthusiasts alike, the 'Libellula' chairs are not just functional items but true collectors' pieces, each telling a story of design innovation from the 1970s.
