A distinguished suite of four Italian brutalist dining chairs, designed in the 1960s by Franco Bettonica for Pininni.
Crafted in richly grained mahogany, the frames embody a rigorous architectural language — square, uncompromising lines and an austere structural clarity that speaks of the more intellectual strand of Italian modernism. The silhouette is assertive yet disciplined, revealing an almost monastic purity of proportion.
The seats and backrests are upholstered in original Sky — the forward-looking synthetic material emblematic of the period — chosen at the time for its modernity and technical innovation. They remain in untouched, original condition and have not yet been cleaned, thus preserving the honest surface and time-earned patina so prized by discerning collectors.
Unrestored. Authentic. Entirely of its era.
For those who value integrity over intervention.
