About the Item

Giulio Minoletti (1910-1981), a Milanese architect, was notable for his remarkable versatility, his flair for experimental research into forms, materials, polychromes and hybrids between artistic genres that characterized his work as architect, builder and designer of housing estates, green areas, swimming pools and objects. Here we have a wonderful piece of furniture, in metal structure with leather covering, designed by Giulio Minoletti in collaboration with Gio Ponti. The chair was designed for the Roma - Milano ETR300 Settebello train, produced by Officine Breda in about 1960. In good condition, fully original and ready to be shipped.
