This refined set of dining chairs, designed by Silvio Coppola for Bernini, is a remarkable example of Italian design from the mid-1970s, combining restrained elegance with exceptional craftsmanship. Produced on 29 March 1976, as indicated by the original printed date beneath the seat cushions, these chairs are authentic period pieces that have been preserved with extraordinary care.
The images clearly show the warm, finely finished wooden structure, whose proportions and softly rounded details reflect Coppola’s sober and architectural approach to design. The wood retains a beautiful natural grain and knots visible, adding character without compromising the overall harmony. The structure is solid and stable, with no signs of weakness, confirming both the quality of the original construction and the minimal use they have seen over time.
The black leather upholstery remains in outstanding condition. As visible in the close-ups, the leather is still smooth, supple, and intact, with no cracking or dryness. The seats are notably full and comfortable, maintaining their original softness and volume—an exceptional detail for chairs of this age. Their excellent state is explained by their history: they were placed in a formal dining room that was rarely used, as the owners customarily ate in the kitchen, sparing the chairs from daily wear.
An important detail visible beneath the seating cushions is the Bernini logo, which offers an additional and reassuring confirmation of authenticity and originality. This hallmark, together with the production date, makes this set particularly appealing to collectors and connoisseurs of Italian modern design.
Timeless in character, these chairs are ready to be welcomed into an interior that values quiet sophistication, material honesty, and the enduring quality of historic craftsmanship. They are pieces for those who understand the refinement of the past design history and craftsmanship. This piece has an attribution mark,
