Discover this extraordinary set of eight dining chairs designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli and crafted by his own company, Fábrica de Móveis Giesse, in Brazil in 1950. These chairs epitomize both rarity and sophistication, featuring solid caviuna wood and an exquisite sculptural form that is seldom found. The architectural X-shaped legs stand out, adding a bold, distinctive touch to the overall design and enhancing their visual intrigue from every angle. With dining chairs often seen from the back, Scapinelli’s approach places a special emphasis on the rear view, making it one of the chair’s most beautiful features—a rarity in dining furniture.
Each chair embodies Scapinelli’s artistic mastery, showcasing his skill in blending elegant design with exceptional craftsmanship. The solid caviuna wood frames finished with brass feet and the luxurious original beige graphic upholstery elevate these chairs to an unparalleled level of refinement. The thickly padded seat and backrest enhance comfort, making them as practical as they are visually striking. These pieces exemplify the innovative Brazilian modernist aesthetic of the 1950s and would make a stunning statement in any interior.
In original, very good condition, these chairs have aged gracefully with only minor wear typical of well-preserved vintage furniture. Priced and sold as a set of eight, they are a unique find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike, destined to bring character and charm to any space.
Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 8.
