Colour, lightness and light-heartedness is what the cult pieces of 80s design transmit, but don't be fooled by the POP colors used by Rodney Kinsman for his projects because they have nothing to do with the colorful, exuberant and decorative Anti Design of postmodernism. For example, the rare "Vienna" model chairs that are offered here are a manifesto of pure functionalism that has renounced the solid-color look.

These chairs come from an architectural studio that placed them around a meeting table. Offered in their original vintage condition, which means that there are signs of use and aging, which you can see in the photos. The structure of the armchairs is in painted tubal steel frame and the padded parts are upholstered in cotton. The comfortable cylindrical back recall the " Seconda " armchair designed by Mario Botta for Alias. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
