Product description
Elevate your interior with this iconic set of ‘Tre 3’ dining chairs by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper, a masterclass in Italian modernist design from the late 1970s.
The chairs still have the original saddle leather which manifests in the age related patina.
Conceived in 1978, the Tre 3 chair is celebrated for its sculptural ingenuity and refined simplicity. Crafted from solid wood with a richly patinated leather sling, the design is defined by its distinctive three-leg structure—two front legs and a single rear support—connected by a T-shaped framework that ensures remarkable stability while maintaining a visually light, architectural profile .
The saddle leather seat and backrest are formed from a single, flowing piece that drapes elegantly from the elevated rear leg, creating a seamless, ergonomic silhouette that is both inviting and striking . This innovative approach reflects Mangiarotti’s architectural background, balancing structural clarity with tactile warmth.
These vintage examples showcase a beautifully aged leather with natural character, paired with bold, geometric frames—offering a compelling contrast between organic materiality and disciplined form. Equally suited to dining or statement seating, they embody the timeless sophistication and experimental spirit that define Mangiarotti’s work.
A rare opportunity to acquire a set of collectible Italian design icons—where function, craftsmanship, and sculptural presence meet effortlessly.
