A rare and iconic set of six “Golem” dining chairs, designed by Vico Magistretti for Poggi in the late 1960s. These sculptural chairs embody Magistretti’s radical design vision, where architectural rigor meets organic curves.
The striking silhouette features a tall, sculpted backrest with a fluid, curved form, paired with a sturdy frame and round seat. Executed in black lacquered wood with upholstered leather seats, these chairs command attention while offering both comfort and elegance.
