3 Paolo Favaretto Agorà Chairs for Emmegi, Italy, 1970s
A characterful set of three original Agorà chairs, designed by Italian industrial designer Paolo Favaretto for Emmegi, Italy. A distinctly Italian design from the 1970s, featuring a strong graphic design language and a striking combination of emerald-green molded beech plywood, cast aluminum, and black steel legs.
The chairs feature a sculptural seat and backrest made of molded beech plywood. The deep green lacquer finish beautifully reveals the wood grain, giving the chairs not only color but also depth and material warmth.
A distinctive detail is the cast aluminum side frame. The construction clamps the wooden shells in a technical and architectural manner, yet simultaneously possesses an organic quality. Viewed from the side, the frame almost resembles a bird: the front curves forward like a subtle beak, while the seat appears to hang lightly and float above the base. This gives the chairs a playful, almost space-age character without them losing their sleek modernist appearance.
The slender black tubular legs with original adjustable ball feet enhance the light, graphic look. This green version is rare and works beautifully around a dining table, as a desk or meeting chair, or as a colorful accent in a studio, gallery, or modern interior.
