These chairs represent a perfect blend of the era's space-age aesthetic and the excellence of Italian leather craftsmanship.

The design features a sculptural chrome-plated tubular steel base with an "X" intersection that provides stability and a dynamic silhouette. The seat is made of a single contoured shell, upholstered in cognac-colored leather (or natural leather), following fluid, organic lines, offering ergonomic comfort without sacrificing a bold visual impact.

The Lavinia chair is a collector's item that embodies the bold spirit and elegance of 1970s Italian interiors, ideal for complementing a designer dining table or as accent seating in a modern office.

Condition
The set is in good original vintage condition. The chrome-plated steel frames are solid and shiny. The leather has a beautiful patina, attesting to its authenticity. There are slight defects and small signs of wear on the leather (such as small scratches or slight cracks on the edges), consistent with age and prolonged use, which do not compromise its beauty but enhance its vintage character. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
