About the Item

A dramatic and sculptural ‘Fratina’ chair by Mario Ceroli, crafted in Italy in the 1960s. Made entirely from solid pine, the chair features bold, architectural lines and a towering backrest, blending the aesthetic of medieval ecclesiastical furniture with a distinctly modernist sensibility. Ceroli, an acclaimed Italian sculptor and designer, was known for his use of raw wood and for blurring the boundaries between art and furniture. A leading figure in Italy’s Arte Povera movement, he often treated furniture as an extension of sculpture — and the Fratina chair is a striking example of that approach. Highly collectible and full of presence, this piece functions as both a seat and a statement work of art. Dimensions: H191 x W53 x D43 cm
