Mint condition original 1980s La Quinta chair by Mario Botta Chair for Alias.
Rare mint green + black edition.
Two available, sold here as a pair.

During the 1980s, famous Swiss architect, Mario Botta worked with the manufacturer Alias as a designer on a whole range of furniture. Botta's ingenious designs are often composed of simple geometric shapes, while also creating unique complex spaces.

The Quinta chair’s frame is made of metal tubing and the seat is constructed from folded perforated sheet metal. The shape of the perforated steel back and seat lend some flexibility to the material and allow to comfortably sit or lean back. The chair, originally made in Italy, is no longer in production today.

Quinta is not simply a chair. Rather, it is a piece of design and architecture history you can sit on. Designed in 1985, this iconic chair demonstrates the influence of Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn and Carlo Scarpa on Bottas work. The distinct lines of the chair are reminiscent of the architect’s work for Museum of Modern Art building in San Francisco, where the chair is on display today.

This listing is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the last examples of the original production of this collectible and iconic design in this color combination.

Condition: The chairs for sale here are in excellent original condition with less-than-usual usage marks for their age. Like New condition! No bent metal in the seat or seat back! Stunning condition throughout both pieces we have available here in this sale.
