Informazioni sull’articolo

This extraordinary set of four chairs, created by Aldo Tura in the 1960s, represents a rare and precious testimony to his work. Aldo Tura (1909–1963), an eccentric and brilliant figure of Milanese design, established himself on the international scene thanks to his visionary use of unusual and refined materials, transforming furniture and accessories into authentic works of art. His preference for sophisticated surfaces such as parchment and goatskin, combined with a sculptural sensibility and an almost alchemical approach to design, made each of his pieces unique and immediately recognizable. The six chairs presented here belong to an extremely limited production and are today considered very rare on the collectors’ market. The structure is entirely clad in light-tinted parchment, an iconic material that Tura elevated to his true signature. The artisanal parchment workmanship, applied with meticulous precision, reveals delicate natural nuances and transparencies, giving the surface a vibrant and iridescent character. The design stands out for its tall, slightly curved backrest, which lends momentum and verticality to the form, emphasizing the tension between clean lines and imposing stage presence. The legs, seamlessly integrated into the chair’s volume, reinforce its sculptural aspect, making the structure visually solid yet elegant at the same time. The seats have been reupholstered in green linen velvet, a choice that renews the chairs while preserving stylistic coherence with the original spirit. The velvet, soft to the touch and with an iridescent surface, creates a refined chromatic contrast with the light parchment, enhancing the sophisticated identity of the ensemble. This conservative restoration returns full functionality to the set without compromising its historical authenticity. The design, which combines essentiality and refinement, fully reflects Tura’s philosophy: transcending the boundary between functionality and decorative art, transforming an everyday element into an aesthetic experience. It is no coincidence that many of his works are now displayed in major museums and form part of top-tier private collections. This group of four chairs therefore constitutes not merely furniture, but a true collectible nucleus, destined to enrich exclusive contexts, whether private residences, galleries, or representative spaces. Their rarity and excellent state of preservation make them a unique opportunity for collectors and admirers of great postwar Italian design. The general condition is excellent as shown in the photographs, with small signs of use consistent with age and originality. Note: The set is available in groups of 6, 4, or 2.
