While the company was primarily known for its enamelled home accents, like side tables, magazine racks, bowls etc, it occasionally ventured into furniture design, creating unique pieces such as coffee tables and chairs. However, chairs from Siva are incredibly rare, seldom appearing on the market. The design features a beautifully shaped tubular metal frame, finished with a black coating that enhances its sleek appearance. The seats and armrests are crafted from enamelled metal in an elegant blue and white pattern, reminiscent of rainfall or cascading water—a truly artistic touch that makes these chairs stand out and unique. Having spent time outdoors, they have developed a rich patina, further adding to their character. Despite their age, they remain in good original condition, showcasing their durability and timeless appeal. These versatile chairs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making them a stylish and functional addition to any space. Visible age-related wear is present but remains within expectations for a piece of this era, as seen in the pictures. Siva Poggibonsi was a renowned Italian manufacturer celebrated for its high-quality enamelled metalwork, particularly home accessories and decorative objects. Based in Poggibonsi, Italy, the company was active in the mid-20th century, producing distinctive pieces that combined artistic craftsmanship with innovative techniques. Though furniture was not their primary focus, their limited production of tables and chairs reflects the same level of skill and attention to detail as their more well-known enamelware. Today, Siva Poggibonsi pieces are highly sought after for their rarity, quality, and unmistakable mid-century Italian design. A truly unique find, this set of chairs is a testament to Siva Poggibonsi’s legacy and a collector’s dream. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
