These Model P80 dining chairs, designed by Giovanni Offredi and manufactured by Saporiti Italia in 1973, are a striking example of mid-century Italian design. The chairs feature cast steel polished feet, with a distinct, bold shape that adds a sculptural element to their overall appearance. The seats are designed like cozy cups, offering excellent comfort and enveloping support for those seated.
Upholstered in their original red-orange suede, the fabric has developed a beautiful patina over time, adding character and enhancing their vintage appeal. Crafted with the exceptional quality that Saporiti Italia is renowned for, these chairs are not only visually appealing but also built to last. The metal feet come equipped with plastic floor protector*, a subtle yet practical design feature that preserves both the furniture and flooring. The chairs are signed at the bottom Saporiti Italia.
This set of 4 chairs is a testament to Offredi’s masterful design and Saporiti’s commitment to superior craftsmanship, making them an elegant addition to any modern or contemporary dining space. Please note that the chairs are sold as a set of four.
