1950s Italian Wicker and Iron Armchair – Mid-Century Sculptural Design

Located in Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija

An arresting study of balance and tension, this sculptural chair defies the boundaries of conventional seating. With its woven rattan surface and sinuous iron frame, it evokes both organic fluidity and geometric precision, standing as an artifact of experimental postmodern design. Of Italian provenance and dating to the 1960s, the chair reflects postmodern and Brutalist influences. The interplay of handwoven rattan and blackened iron creates a striking contrast, each material imbued with an inherent honesty that deepens over time. The chair’s composition is a dialogue between weight and weightlessness, structure and softness. The finely woven rattan, marked by the passage of time, bears subtle tonal shifts and a patina that speaks to its authenticity. The iron frame—minimal yet expressive—outlines the form with architectural clarity, emphasizing negative space and sculptural intent. Aged imperfections, from the gentle fraying of the rattan to the darkening of the iron, enrich its character rather than diminish it. Time has bestowed a quiet grandeur upon this piece. Its softened edges, textured patina, and minor surface irregularities serve as testaments to its authenticity, each mark a remnant of its lived history. The structure remains sound, preserving the chair’s distinctive silhouette and presence. At once functional and artistic, this chair offers a commanding yet understated presence within interiors that embrace sculptural furniture, material honesty, and conceptual design. Ideal for settings that honor Brutalist minimalism...

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs

Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.

Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.

When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.

Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
