About the Item
This rare pair of sculptural timber chairs, attributed to Italian designer Cesare Leonardi, reflects a bold shift in material and form during the 1980s. Responding to the decline of fiberglass, Leonardi began working with simple construction materials—namely, yellow formwork boards—transforming them into experimental furnishings under the Solidi series. These chairs embody that philosophy: raw yet refined, modular yet sculptural, they explore infinite variations from a single elemental form.
With their raw elegance and striking geometry, the chairs suit a range of interiors, from minimalist and wabi-sabi to brutalist and modernist spaces. Ideal for collectors or design-forward homes, they stand as quiet yet powerful statements of form and philosophy.

Located in Aartselaar, BE
Dordrecht Chairs by Wim van Gelderen for 't Spectrum, the Netherlands.
Naive, modernist, vintage armchairs in a light-colored oak. They pair beautifully with the "elephant grey" textured fabric.
It's rare to find a pair of these Dutch modernist plywood chairs that were produced in the early 1950s.
The design of these chairs is very elegant and does not show that they are a design of the 50s, since they look a lot more modern than they really are.
The perfect neutral, yet sculptural chair for any kind of vintage, modernist of contemporary project.
In excellent original condition. Newly upholstered by a professional craftsman in high-quality, textured velours fabric.
