This stunning set of armchairs and footstool, designed by Giuseppe Pagano in the 1940s, perfectly embodies the aesthetics of Italian Rationalism. Each fluid, natural curve of the bent plywood tells a story of craftsmanship and innovation, while the simplicity of the lines reflects pure functionality, devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, typical of the Rationalist movement.
The wood, light and carefully shaped, seems to welcome the user in a delicate embrace without sacrificing strength and stability. The seats and backs, woven from natural cord, intertwine like a delicate fabric, creating a harmonious contrast with the solid wooden structure. The cord, beyond its functional purpose, adds warmth and naturalness, evoking the artisanal roots of Italian tradition.
The design, though minimalist, exudes elegance and thoughtful craftsmanship. Every element is designed to provide comfort and durability, while the soft curves of the wood reflect a modern aesthetic that blends a love for natural materials with the simplicity of form.
This set represents not just a piece of vintage design, but an example of how Italian Rationalism managed to combine beauty, functionality, and respect for materials. It is a true testament to Pagano’s genius and his ability to express a new vision of modern life through furniture design. The ottoman dimensions are 43x61x35 cm.
