Set of Four Dining Chairs with Sheepskin Seats by Rach Finazzi, Italy 1980s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Rach Finazzi, an Italian designer active from the late 20th century, is recognised for a distinctive approach to furniture-making that merges geometric structures with unique materials. Finazzi’s work often explores unconventional forms and material contrasts, from glass to metal and wood, resulting in pieces that command attention both as functional furniture and as sculptural statements.

This set of four geometric dining chairs is a quintessential example of Finazzi’s design ethos, they are characterised by a striking interplay between angular metal frameworks, natural wood, and plush sheepskin. The chairs rest on slender, black metal legs that intersect to create a dynamic, sculptural base, flowing into the arms. The composition feels both visually light and structurally stable. Adding to the design, the backrests are crafted from solid wood in a dramatically tapered, triangular form. The backs introduce an architectural element that draws the eye upward, establishing a visual dialogue between the angular metal structure and the natural wood grain. To fully drive in the textural juxtaposition, the seats are upholstered in longhair sheepskin, adding a warm, inviting texture that contrasts beautifully with the cool, industrial feel of the metal frame and the earthy wooden backrest.

More than just seating, this set of four functions as sculptural pieces that showcase Finazzi’s ability to harmonise disparate materials and forms. The combination of materials creates a compelling visual and tactile experience, showcasing the skill and creativity of Italian craftsmanship. Whether arranged around a dining table or displayed as standalone accent pieces, they encapsulate a bold design language, merging functionality with a strong artistic presence.
