This iconic set of 4 "Trieste" folding chairs by Aldo Jacober for Bazzani combines the characteristic clarity of Italian design with an exceptionally reduced and architectural formal language. The design dates back to the 1960s and is now one of Jacober's most famous works. With their sculptural silhouette, distinctive A-shaped side elements, and finely crafted slatted construction, the chairs appear almost graphic, combining functionality with timeless aesthetics.
The black finish underscores the clear geometry of the design and gives the set a particularly elegant and modern effect. The delicate seat slats and precisely crafted wood joints are striking, highlighting the artisanal quality of the design. At the same time, the sophisticated construction allows for space-saving folding functionality – an essential feature of the "Trieste" model that uniquely combines function and design.
The set is in good vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of wear. The photos show slight patina, minor paint chips, and isolated scuff marks, particularly on edges, seat slats, and the lower foot areas. These authentic traces emphasize the vintage character and history of the chairs without detracting from the overall impression.
Aldo Jacober is one of the important representatives of post-war Italian design. His designs are characterized by constructive clarity, functionality, and a consistently reduced formal language. The "Trieste" folding chairs are now considered design classics and are internationally valued collector's items due to their sculptural presence and intelligent construction.
