Product description
Are you searching for a unique vintage piece that balances brutalist strength with organic elegance? This rare set of four dining chairs, designed by the Finnish master Ilmari Tapiovaara for La Permanente Mobili Cantù during the 1960s, represents the pinnacle of Mid-Century Italian manufacturing.
Crafted from premium solid Italian Walnut, featuring robust, architectural lines and visible joinery that showcases the expert cabinet-making of Cantù. Upholstered in thick, natural saddle leather (cuoio), carefully tensioned to provide a supportive and comfortable ergonomic experience.
The natural leather has aged beautifully, developing a rich, unique texture that only authentic vintage pieces can offer. Very good vintage condition. We have performed a professional check-up. The wooden frames have been expertly re-glued for rock-solid stability. The leather seats were disassembled and reinforced from beneath to ensure decades of future use.
Cleaned and nourished, these chairs are ready to become the centerpiece of your dining room or architectural project.
How do I clean and maintain these surfaces?
To preserve the walnut frame, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for dusting. For the saddle leather, we recommend a specific neutral leather cream applied once a year to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Avoid aggressive detergents or direct sunlight, which can dry out the natural fibers. With minimal care, the "cuoio" will continue to tell its story for another sixty years.
