A fireside chair with a structure in black lacquered beech wood and a seat in hand-woven rush. This iconic fireside chair was designed by Gio Ponti in 1939 and produced by Casa & Giardino during the 1950s. The peculiar look of this chair is due especially to the high sculptural back, which presents beautifully carved details and a rustic seat in a natural hand-woven rush. Literature: Domus n. 143, November 1939, pag. 60. Gio Ponti was an icon of the modernist movement: the Italian designer, architect, artist and publisher contributed significantly to the worlds of architecture and design with his extensive work in fine furniture and ceramics, education, office and residential buildings, and everything in between. Giovanni, known as Gio Ponti was born in 1891 in Milan. It was there that he spent his childhood, and in 1921 he began to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1923 to 1930 he served as the artistic director of the Richard-Ginori porcelain factory. In 1927, Ponti started his first architectural office, together with Emilio Lancia, and in 1928 he started the magazine Domus, which is still regarded as one of the most influential European magazines for architecture and design. He was also very influential during the period as a curator of the Milan Triennale. After his collaboration with Emilio Lancia had come to an end, upon completion of the Torre Rasini, he began to work as an architect together with the engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini...

A distinctive pair of French side chairs dating from the 1940s, crafted in solid oak and retaining their beautifully handwoven natural rush seats and backrests. The chairs are particularly notable for their highly decorative construction. The solid oak frames combine strong architectural rear legs with sculpturally turned front legs and stretchers, creating a characteristic French rustic modernist appearance. The handwoven rush backrests are especially attractive, featuring an unusual geometric composition with a central vertical woven band, horizontal wrapping and a small arched opening at the top. This artisanal detailing gives the chairs a strong graphic quality when viewed from both the front and the back. The natural rush seats have been traditionally woven directly onto the frames and display the warm tonal variation and texture associated with genuine hand craftsmanship. The oak has developed a rich, warm patina over many decades, with subtle variations in tone and surface that emphasize the authentic vintage character of the pair. Their combination of traditional French craftsmanship, sculptural detailing and natural materials makes these chairs particularly suitable for contemporary, rustic, wabi-sabi, French modernist and eclectic interiors. Offered as an original pair.
