This exceptional set of 6 ‘Elisabetta’ dining chairs, designed by Giuseppe Gibelli and crafted by Sormani in 1963, epitomizes the pinnacle of mid-century Italian design. Each chair boasts a beautifully sculpted solid ash wood frame, meticulously stained in a rich, red-brown hue evocative of fine rosewood or mahogany. The recent reupholstery in an elegant off-white linen-look fabric creates a striking contrast, enhancing the luxurious aesthetic. The fabric is not only visually stunning but also durable and easy to maintain, ensuring both beauty and practicality. The chairs have a very elegant shaped design, boasting their aesthetical apperance. Yet they remain strong and sturdy.
The chairs are a masterclass in refined design, with their gracefully arched backs echoing classical Roman architecture, and slender, tapered legs that convey a sense of delicacy while providing robust strength. The craftsmanship of the wood is superb, with the frames in excellent original condition, showing only gentle signs of age, which add to their character and authenticity.
Kindly note that the price is for the set of 6 chairs.
As with all our upholstered pieces, these can be custom reupholstered to suit your preferences. Consult with our experienced upholstery department for a personalized quote on customizing the item of your choice. We can work with fabric you provide or order specific materials to meet your needs. Throughout the reupholstery process, we prioritize preserving the originality of the piece to ensure it retains its value and is ready for many more years of use.
