Italian Cantilever Chair with Vienna Straw, 1970s

The Italian cantilever chair with Vienna straw from the 1970s is a striking example of mid-century modern design. This chair features a elaborated double structure made of chrome plated bent steel tubes, which not only provides durability but also gives the chair a sleek, modernist aesthetic.
One of the most notable features of this chair is the use of Vienna straw on the seat. This traditional technique involves weaving natural rattan cane, which adds warmth and a natural element to the design. The seat and backrest are generously wide, enhancing comfort and creating a spacious feel. Additionally, thanks to its ergonomic design and use of bent wood, the chair is not only visually appealing but also comfortable for extended periods of sitting.
The natural hue of the cane contrasts beautifully with the minimalist, black-painted wooden frame and the raw steel of the base, creating a bold and expressive appearance. The chair is a wonderful example of blending traditional craftsmanship with modern materials. This combination of elements and thoughtful design gives the chair a unique character, making it a standout piece in any interior.
Despite the passage of time, the chair remains in excellent original condition. Small traces of patina on the cane and metal base have developed over the years, which is perfectly normal for furniture of this age. We have carefully cleaned the seat and protected the wood with professional compounds to ensure that it can continue to serve beautifully for many more years.
