The vibrant yellow of their tubular frame makes them two of the most difficult pieces to find from this production, as this color has become extremely rare on the vintage market.

the continuous arch of yellow lacquered metal curves elegantly to form the backrest, supporting a square seat in natural cane. The linear structure has an airy lightness; it doesn't visually clutter a space, yet its bold yellow color makes an immediate and striking statement. When folded, they are only a few centimeters thick.

the original caning, in good condition, is a detail that matters. This artisanal technique, long associated with high-end furniture, was central to the italian design vocabulary of the 1970s and here brings a natural warmth that perfectly balances the rigor of the lacquered metal.

cidue is an iconic italian manufacturer whose 1970s designs are now highly sought after by enthusiasts of italian design. Giorgio cattelan, founder of the renowned cattelan italia brand, designed some of his most desirable pieces for cidue.
