About the Item

Clean lines, smart proportions, and refined detailing – this side chair by Giulio Moscatelli is a clear example of thoughtful Italian design. Designed in the 1950s, it combines functional elegance with a sculptural edge that remains relevant today. Design The chair features a teak frame with an expressive silhouette, defined by its elegant tapering legs and sharply angled arm supports. These diagonal supports not only contribute to the structural integrity but also add rhythm to the visual composition. The joinery is clean and deliberate, and subtle carved transitions reveal Moscatelli’s attention to detail. The backrest sits slightly recessed, with a lightly sculpted upper edge that adds a soft, architectural punctuation. Upholstered in a light bouclé-style fabric, the seat offers subtle contrast to the dark wooden frame. Rounded finials cap the front and rear joints, a distinctive element that echoes neoclassical references without feeling ornamental. The curvature of the seat adds comfort while maintaining the chair’s refined stance. Every angle reveals balance between decorative restraint and clarity of form. An elegant chair with a confident character. Giulio Moscatelli’s work captures the harmony between construction and visual rhythm. Condition This piece has been fully restored and reupholstered. The teak has been refinished and the seat is newly covered in a high-quality fabric. It has an old breakage that has been restored in the backrest.

Elegant Dining- or Side Chair in Teak and Wicker, Italy 1970s
Located in Hellouw, NL
An extremely elegant and stylish look is what mainly characterizes this chair. Design The teak frame is made up of six parts that all contribute to the allure of this dining room chair. Pointed front legs continue to the backrest and consist of one whole. The beautiful mortise and tenon connection with the back legs takes place just above the height of the seat. The slender figure of the chair is amazingly sturdy due to the wooden cross stretcher that connects the two outer parts. These are also connected to each other by means of a mortise and tenon connection. As an extra reinforcement, the legs at the bottom are also reinforced with a black iron spindle...
