About the Item

Pair of parchment stools attributed to Aldo Tura, a fine example of postwar Italian design. The stools feature a round seat upholstered in natural parchment, with a warm amber hue and a glossy surface that enhances the irregular grain patterns typical of this fine material. The curved legs, slender and elegant, are also covered in parchment, creating continuity between frame and seat. Attributable to the production of Aldo Tura, known for his innovative use of parchment applied to furniture. Overall, these are both decorative and functional pieces, ideal as stools, or small side tables, capable of adding a sophisticated and sculptural touch to any room. Aldo Tura (Milan, 1909 - 1963) was an Italian designer and manufacturer of furniture and furnishings best known for his unique, elegant, and highly sought-after craftsmanship style in mid-century Italian design. In 1939 he founded his furniture workshop/factory in Lombardy, near Milan. In the 1930s and especially after World War II, he began producing luxury furniture, lamps and accessories, combining influences from Art Deco, Art Nouveau and modernism. Tura became famous for his use of "exotic" and unconventional materials such as parchment, eggshells, lacquered goatskin, precious woods and polished metals. He always preferred handcrafted and refined production, avoiding mass production: this makes his pieces rare and highly sought after in the vintage and design market. Some of her works entered the collections of the Brooklyn Museum in New York, originating from the traveling exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today (1950-53). In summary, Aldo Tura is considered one of the most original and singular Italian designers of the postwar period, capable of combining elegance, craftsmanship and a distinctive style in the mid-century design scene.
