This chair is a timeless classic of Italian design and craftsmanship: an authentic Chiavarina Chair. Known for its exceptional lightness, surprising robustness, and the elegant simplicity of its lines, the Chiavarina chair is an icon of functional design, appreciated worldwide since the early 19th century.
Crafted with a slender structure in light-colored wood (likely beech or cherry), the chair features a clean and graceful design. The high backrest is characterized by horizontal slats that offer discreet yet comfortable support, contributing to its distinctive silhouette.
The seat is expertly hand-woven from natural straw (paglia di Vienna or similar natural fiber), a hallmark of the traditional Chiavarina chairs, providing both comfort and a touch of rustic charm. The combination of natural wood and woven straw gives this piece a timeless appeal and enduring quality.
