Set of Six Savonarola Dining Chairs with Burnt Orange Upholstery, Italy 1960s

During the post-war era, when modernism gained a distinct momentum, most designers found it challenging to balance modern sensibilities and classical elegance. Entering the mid-century modern era, Italy’s design approach stood out for combining the past with a niche sense of creativity. This set of dining chairs blends these unique elements.

This dining chair set is constructed from wrought iron in a stark dark colour resulting in an eye-catching look, especially thanks to the contrast with the warm burnt-orange fabric. The design is an interesting unification of Brutalism and mid-century modernism where the two styles create tension. The allure of this model mainly rests in its sculptural silhouette, most striking in the structure of its base. The legs of the chairs are curved, forming graceful lines that evoke a sense of movement and lightness despite the robustness of the material. The curved base is a distinctive feature that offers stability and visual interest. This set is more than just pieces of furniture: it reflects the artistic movements of 20th-century Italy, where form and function were intertwined in perfect harmony, without sacrificing aesthetics.

The Italian craftsmanship that went into designing these dining chairs is nothing short of exceptional. Each structure is assembled with meticulous attention to detail, granting this set the potential to elevate a range of interiors. Having the versatility to fit in with more classical styles due to its sculptural presence, as well as the capability to fit in modern places with its attention to geometric detail, the set truly has an enduring appeal and a timeless presence.
