About the Item

A Pair of Italian Mid-Century Side Chairs or fireside chairs with a structure in black lacquered beech wood and a seat in hand-woven rush. This iconic fireside chair was designed by Gio Ponti in 1939 and produced by Casa & Giardino during the 1950s. The peculiar look of this chair is due especially to the high sculptural back, which presents beautifully carved details and a rustic seat in a natural hand-woven rush. In addition, the slim form and line of the chair casts a seductive aesthetic. Priced and Sold as a Pair. Literature: Domus n. 143, November 1939, pag. 60. Gio Ponti's legacy is the deepest and widest of all 20th century Italian architects and designers. He created complete artworks designing buildings and all the furnishings within the spaces while innovating design concepts as he proceeded.
