Italian artisanal production by Pescetta Home Decoration. Klismos are walnut wood chairs with deep and large seat and back wraparound feeling backrest. These chairs are made in Italy by Pescetta Home Decoration. They are realized according to the historical model named "Klismos" which is a type of ancient Greek chair, very often depicted on ancient furniture or on painted pottery and in bas-reliefs from the mid-5th century BCE onwards. The simple and elegant lines of the saber legs have been proposed and reconsidered several times during the history, making it a chair without age and never out of fashion. The long and elegant curve for the backrest is quite difficult to create and it is obtained from a single piece of wood. They are extremely comfortable and wraparound, the seat is large and deep allowing them to be suitable in a meeting room, as well in the dining room or used as desk chairs. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
