About the Item
The ‘Sapporo’ chest of drawers, designed by Mario Marenco and manufactured by Mobilgirgi in Italy in 1978, is a striking piece of Italian modern design. Crafted from richly grained walnut veneer and solid walnut components in varying tones, this chest showcases a captivating layered effect that adds depth and visual interest. Its geometric aesthetic is further enhanced by the striped panels that define its surface, giving the piece a bold, architectural look.
Featuring four spacious drawers, the chest offers ample storage while maintaining a sleek profile. The oval-shaped top adds a touch of playfulness to the otherwise clean, straight-lined design, making it a unique and eye-catching piece. In good original condition, this chest exemplifies superb craftsmanship and the elegance of Italian furniture design, combining form and function in a distinctive, timeless way.
Mario Marenco (1933–2019) was an Italian architect, designer, and creative talent celebrated for his innovative and playful approach to design. Known for his work with iconic Italian brands like Mobilgirgi and Poltrona Frau, Marenco created furniture that blended clean lines, bold geometric forms, and unique details. His designs, such as the "Sapporo" chest of drawers, reflect a blend of functionality and artistic expression. Beyond his work in design, Marenco was also a popular figure in Italian television and radio, known for his humor and charisma. His multifaceted career made him a distinctive and beloved figure in Italian modernism.

View AllMario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mario Marenco, Mobil Girgi
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design.
They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern.
Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures.
Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied architecture in Naples and won research grants for Stockholm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of architecture and...
