Private sellerProduct description
Willy Rizzo – Set of 6 Dining Chairs, Italy, 1970s. A sophisticated set of six dining chairs designed by Willy Rizzo, representative of the distinctive Italian design language of the 1970s. Characterised by their sculptural silhouette and refined combination of dark lacquered wood, metal and upholstered fabric, these chairs embody Rizzo’s ability to combine architectural forms with an unmistakable sense of comfort and elegance. The design is defined by a beautifully curved wooden structure that flows continuously from the front legs into the generous backrest, creating a striking, almost sculptural profile. The circular upholstered seat is framed by a polished metal band, introducing a subtle contrast with the deep black lacquer of the wooden structure and adding a distinctive touch of sophistication. The gently rounded backrest provides both visual lightness and comfortable support, while the carefully balanced proportions give the chairs a strong yet understated presence. The combination of dark lacquer, polished metal and richly coloured upholstery is particularly characteristic of the refined, glamorous aesthetic associated with Rizzo’s furniture designs of the period. Willy Rizzo, originally celebrated for his career as a photographer, developed a parallel career as a furniture designer, creating interiors and furnishings distinguished by clean lines, luxurious materials and a distinctly architectural sensibility. His furniture designs of the 1970s remain highly sought after for their ability to combine modernist rigour with the sophisticated atmosphere of Italian and international interiors of the era. This rare set of six chairs is an elegant expression of 1970s Italian design, equally suited to a sophisticated dining room, contemporary interior or curated collection. Their sculptural construction, distinctive materials and timeless character make them a particularly compelling example of Willy Rizzo’s design aesthetic. Upon request, the upholstery of the seats can be changed and customised according to the client’s preferences.
