These chairs are exemplary of the radical movement, where functionality meets expressive form and bold visual language.

defined by their circular backrests, graphic geometry and playful composition, the chairs challenge conventional design norms. The combination of curved metal tubing, contrasting spherical elements and vibrant blue back panels creates a sculptural presence that transcends pure function. Each element feels deliberately composed, almost like a three-dimensional drawing in space.

the design reflects the philosophy of breaking away from modernist rigidity, embracing color, asymmetry and experimentation. The chairs are not only seating objects but statements expressive, unconventional and unmistakably postmodern.

highly collectible and very rare as a pair, these chairs represent an important moment in late 20th-century design history.
