A celebrated example of Italian industrial design, the April chair combines elegant chrome-plated tubular steel with a suspended sling seat and backrest, creating both visual lightness and surprising comfort.
The clever cross-braced folding mechanism allows the chair to collapse flat while remaining exceptionally stable when open — a hallmark of Piretti’s engineering approach.
This piece retains its original manufacturer’s stamp on the frame and features warm brown textile upholstery, giving it a refined safari/modernist character.
Perfect as:
– accent or lounge chair
– office or studio seating
– modernist interior
– collectible Italian design piece
Functional, sculptural, and unmistakably 1970s Italian modernism. This piece has an attribution mark,
