Set of 6 chairs "La Permanente Cantù"

About the Item

These 1950s chairs, attributable to the style of Franco Albini, embody the understated and functional elegance of postwar Italian design. Made of high-quality solid wood, probably beech or oak, they feature a solid but visually light structure, with tapered legs that tilt with discreet boldness, recalling modernist aesthetics. The backrest, with its distinctive butterfly shape, is a clear tribute to Albini's attention to ergonomics and formal refinement. The upholstery is covered in a light-colored embossed fabric with an almost dotted appearance, giving a tactile and luminous touch while maintaining an understated and sophisticated line. Black rubber feet confirm the attention to functional detail, protecting the floor and contributing to stability. Overall, these chairs tell a story of craftsmanship and rational design, perfectly balancing form and function.
