This lot represents a perfect example of the refined and essential Italian modernism of the 1960s, combining formal innovation with the excellence of fine cabinetmaking.

The chairs feature a solid, geometric frame in fine walnut, characterized by clean paneling and the typical joints of the Torcello series, conceived to enhance the purity of the wood. The wide seats and imposing, high, wing-shaped backrests are upholstered in original burgundy/Cartier red leather, giving the set an extraordinarily elegant presence and enveloping comfort.

Finding a complete and homogeneous set of 8 elements from the Torcello model is a unique opportunity on the market, ideal for completing large formal dining tables in reception rooms or in high-end interior design projects that celebrate the best of Italian Mid-Century Modern.
