Italian Vintage Bamboo and Wicker Credenza by Dal Vera (circa 1970s)

Dal Vera furniture is all about bringing breezy style indoors. Through its mid-century modern pieces, this Italian manufacturer expanded the depth and breadth of materials used for interior furniture design. The company’s exceptional dining room tables, chairs and chests of drawers feature beautiful woven wicker, rattan and other natural fibers that are more commonly found in relaxed outdoor pieces.

Based in Conegliano in the Veneto region of Italy, Dal Vera was founded in 1884 by Antonio Dal Vera and produced an extensive collection of living and dining room furniture. During its peak in the mid-20th century, Italian designer Flam Sansoni created much of the furniture for the company. Materials like bamboo, glass and leather also featured heavily in its inventive designs, as did brass hardware and handles. Dal Vera’s postwar creations have a more typically mid-century modern appeal, with clean and angular lines inspired by Scandinavian designers such as Hans Wegner. Over the years, the company’s pieces took on a Bohemian style, keeping up with the trends of the time.

Throughout the early 1980s, Dal Vera dining room chairs were used by the Les Arcs ski resort in Savoie, France. They were personally selected by the influential French designer and architect Charlotte Perriand. The company’s high-quality pieces remain in demand with collectors today.
