The 'Selene' dining set (with matching 'Stadio' table), by Italian designer Vico Magistretti for Italian manufacturer Artemide, is a perfect example of 1960s design; a period during which both designers and manufacturers experimented with new, modern materials, colours, and shapes, trying to reduce manufacturing costs on one side and create completely new and versatile designs on the other. The 'Selene' succeeded on all fronts. The table is fully demountable, and the chairs are stackable, making this set very easy to store. On the other hand, both the design and the chosen colour are very bold and impossible to ignore. A true statement piece, bringing all the charm of 1960s design back into our modern homes!
Set contains 1 dining table and 3 chairs, all marked at the bottom. The Marlboro table lamp shown in the photos is also offered up for sale.
The set is in very good vintage condition, with only minor traces of age-related wear.
