This specific set is an official, high-quality reissue produced by the prestigious Italian manufacturer ICF De Padova in the 1970s. The design is minimalist elegance and ingenious construction. The frame consists of slender, chrome-plated steel legs that connect to a distinctive black T-shaped crossbar. The seat and backrest are crafted from a single, continuous piece of thick, premium saddle leather beautifully suspended over the frame. The chairs are in good vintage condition. Over the decades, the thick saddle leather has developed a beautiful, rich patina that gives the chairs immense character and authenticity. The leather remains firm with no structural tears. The chrome elements have a wonderful shine, and the frames are structurally sound, sturdy, and stable. 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
