Rach Finazzi, an Italian designer active from the late 20th century, is recognised for a distinctive approach to furniture-making that merges geometric structures with unique materials. Finazzi’s work often explores unconventional forms and material contrasts, from glass to metal and wood, resulting in pieces that command attention both as functional furniture and as sculptural statements.

This pair of geometric dining chairs is a quintessential example of Finazzi’s design ethos, they are characterised by a striking interplay between angular metal frameworks, natural wood, and plush sheepskin. The chairs rest on slender, black metal legs that intersect to create a dynamic, sculptural base, flowing into the arms. The composition feels both visually light and structurally stable. Adding to the design, the backrests are crafted from solid wood in a dramatically tapered, triangular form. The backs introduce an architectural element that draws the eye upward, establishing a visual dialogue between the angular metal structure and the natural wood grain. To fully drive in the textural juxtaposition, the seats are upholstered in longhair sheepskin, adding a warm, inviting texture that contrasts beautifully with the cool, industrial feel of the metal frame and the earthy wooden backrest.

More than just seating, this pair functions as sculptural pieces that showcase Finazzi’s ability to harmonise disparate materials and forms. The combination of materials creates a compelling visual and tactile experience, showcasing the skill and creativity of Italian craftsmanship. Whether arranged around a dining table or displayed as standalone accent pieces, they encapsulate a bold design language, merging functionality with a strong artistic presence.

In the realm of Spanish furniture design, the 1930s were a pivotal era that witnessed the emergence of distinctive styles and innovative craftsmanship. Among the unique pieces created in this period is this set of dining chairs that encapsulates the essence of Spanish design from that epoch.

These chairs, boasting dark-stained oak frames, are a testament to the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility of 1930s Spain. The dark-stained oak provides a rich and timeless allure to the chairs, enhancing their overall elegance. Notably, the frames exhibit gendarme-style backrests, showcasing the artisan's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail through their downward curvature. The structures of these chairs are a nod to the distinctiveness of Spanish furniture design of the 20th century. Furthermore, the woven straw seats of the chairs are secured into the frames using a decorative pattern, seamlessly blending function with aesthetics. The choice of the patterned and textured seats complements the dark-stained oak frames, creating a harmonious visual appeal. The silhouettes of these chairs are reduced to the essentials, with upright backrests and square seats supported by chunky vertical legs. The only curvature to the wood is along the backrest, highlighting an almost Brutalist pursuit for functionality. The material choices and construction suggest durability and purpose, while the straw seats provide a visual and physical lightness to balance the heavier wooden elements. Wood and straw chairs are valued for their comfort and breathability, similarly aligning with the ethos of the era.

This set of chairs is ideal for a space that embraces authenticity and values materials in their natural form. Their clean look and rustic sensibility make them stand out without the need for embellishment, offering a quiet but impactful addition to an interior.

The 1960s and 1970s saw Italian interior design become world renowned and revered. This set of four “Africa” chairs were born from the creative genius of design-duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa in the mid-1970s. They are a perfect combination of simplicity, functionality, and aesthetic.

This set was part of the Artona line by the Scarpa’s and was also the first line ever produced by Maxalto. The company was originally set up in 1975 as an exclusive branch of B&B Italia to focus solely on the production of artisanal furniture that was primarily crafted from wood. As we find ourselves in a design era that embraces the nostalgia of the mid-20th century, this set of four serves as both an homage to the past and a testament to the timeless allure of Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work. In these chairs, the pattern and grain of the walnut backrests is striking, showing the traces of history in every line and mark. Sensitive touches enliven the design, visible in the careful craftsmanship and quality of woodworking with impeccable joinery that masterfully utilises nothing but the wood itself. The colour of the leather seats matches the walnut body beautifully, further enhancing the visual appeal. Another impressing element is the centrally placed back leg that continues upwards to form the backrests, highlighting the Scarpas’ architectural expertise. Through its eccentric geometries and expressive forms these chairs are perfect for any interior.

Tobia Scarpa once said “I make things as I know how, and I try to be simple, without arrogance”, a sentiment that is apparent in these chairs. The emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials like walnut has undeniably left a lasting imprint and solidified the “Africa” model’s legacy in the Italian design landscape.

During the post-war era, when modernism gained a distinct momentum, most designers found it challenging to balance modern sensibilities and classical elegance. Entering the mid-century modern era, Italy’s design approach stood out for combining the past with a niche sense of creativity. This set of chairs, attributed to architect and designer Guglielmo Ulrich, blends these unique elements.

Made in 1950s Italy, this stunning set of dining chairs carries a sleek, timeless charm, full of unique design elements, soft curves and organic lines. The allure of this model rests in its sculptural silhouette, most striking in the structure of its backrest. The combination of upward rising arches, in contrast with the horizontal cross-rails, frame the sitter while providing ample support for the spine and lower back. The elegantly bent arches of the top rail fan upward in a double composition, connecting with the deeply curved rail that runs through the middle. Made of a beautiful and rich dark-toned wood, the flawlessly shaped, smooth edges evoke the form of a gracious harp, elegantly holding the centre attention of the design. The sweeping silhouette continues in the formation of the front legs, swooping down with a slight bend into a tapered finish. The upholstered seats, with their rounded sides and soft fabric, contribute to an outstanding sitting experience. The geometric pattern adds visual interest, creating a warm aura with its mellow colours.

The Italian craftsmanship that went into designing these dining chairs is nothing short of exceptional. Each structure is carved and assembled with meticulous attention to detail of the joinery, granting this set the potential to elevate diverse interiors. Having the versatility to fit in with more classical styles due to its sculptural presence, as well as the capability to fit in modern places with its attention to geometric detail, the set truly has an enduring appeal and a timeless presence.

The essence of Brutalism lies in the celebration of raw materials and uncompromising forms, and above all, a prioritisation of function over adornment. Both visually and technically, this pair of Spanish wooden fireplace chairs from the 1960s celebrates the inherent beauty of the material, characteristic of Brutalism.

At first glance, the design of this pair is reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to using nothing but wood, these chairs exemplify the artisanal skill of Spanish woodworkers. The quality of craftsmanship is exceptional and so is the respect for the material; the wood is left in the focus of these chairs, displaying its natural qualities, including the naturally occurring patina. Each part, meticulously handcrafted, also speaks to a bygone era where craftsmanship was synonymous with pride and dedication. Moreover, sensitive touches enliven this brutalist design, visible in the carefully carved bodies. The look of the chiselling also gives the pair an elemental feel while the peculiar shape of the backs increases the visual interest. The carved hole found on the top of the back of each chair, prevents the chairs from looking heavy, creating an airy look for the design. Wood has never gone out of style, and pieces with an emphasis on a natural look are only gaining popularity today. These chairs are equally striking standing alone, or as parts of an interior with a medley of styles.

Today, as the design world rekindles its romance with Brutalism, these mid-century pieces have become coveted treasures. The resurgence of interest in brutalist furniture can be attributed to a longing for authenticity in an era dominated by mass production. Collectors and enthusiasts appreciate the honesty of design that eschews unnecessary embellishments, revealing the intrinsic qualities of the materials themselves. This pair showcases all these qualities, being a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of simplicity.

Impressive set of six oak brutalist chairs, Spain, circa 1970. This set features six exquisitely sculptural and geometrical brutalist chairs. The marks of Brutalism can be observed in the unornamented, solid wood, exposed joints, and raw oaken surfaces. The design of these chairs project an air of strength and solidity. The slightly curved backrest and seat of these chairs provide comfort, while the sturdy frame and legs guarantee a solid base. This set is comprised of truly expressive, attention-grabbing pieces. The triangular backside of the chairs evokes the architectural roots of Brutalism, while the solid oak and overall organic material keeps the set from feeling industrial. It is at its core, frank craftsmanship.

Brutalist design extends the functional logic of Modernism, privileging bold and rugged forms and leaving all details undisguised. The rougher, earthly coloured wood and other materials that are used in brutalist design are the visual and palpable antithesis of the sleek, smooth and suave. Brutalist design encompasses that which is crafted, hewn and worked by hand. Brutalist furniture emerge through statement pieces that can blend into a variety of design styles.

Today, Brutalism is seen as a reaction against artificiality and lightness, reevoking the appreciation for raw, yet vigilant design. The brutalist pieces, exemplified by this beautiful set of chairs, lend a unique, eccentric to any interior or collection.

Thanks to low-profile, clean-lined furnishings; an earth-tone-inspired colour palette; and little ornamentation, the minimal brutalist design style resonates with many. This organic set exudes tranquillity through its stylish but understated shapes and forms.

There is a reason behind solid wooden furniture’s enduring popularity: wood never goes out of style, it is enduring, sturdy, versatile, and therefore visually appealing. The development of design in Belgium is very typical for that in Europe generally, thus a branch of the European design tree with shared characteristics of the era’s Scandinavian and even French design. This set of eight dining chairs is an evidence of the country’s long furniture manufacturing tradition. The dualism within these chairs is amazing: the pieces of this set can stand in an interior and have a function but also play a purely aesthetic role. The oak bodies’ proportions are very harmonious, with long, sleek backs and braced legs. The only element that serves a purely decorative role are the round ears on the top. The seats are very carefully carved to accommodate the sitter, while the high backs provide ample support for the back.

From architectural descriptions to individual pieces of furniture, materials, and colour palettes, brutalist style seems to have earned a permanent spot on the décor trend list. Similarly, wood has never gone out of style, and pieces combining the style and the material are only gaining popularity today. These solid oak Belgian chairs are equally striking standing alone, or as a set in an interior with a medley of styles.

This set of four dining chairs emerged from the hands of skilled craftsmen in 1970s Belgium. Made from the dense and unyielding embrace of heavy oak, these brutalist chairs stand as stoic testaments of an era marked by avant-garde design principles and an unapologetic departure from conventional aesthetics.

Belgian furniture design in the 20th century mirrored the country's complex cultural and political tapestry. Nestled between the influences of neighbouring European design powerhouses, Belgian designers carved a distinctive niche that blended functionality with an uncompromising commitment to artistic expression. The 1970s witnessed a surge in experimentation, giving rise to furniture pieces that transcended the boundaries of traditional design. Brutalist furniture design is synonymous with raw materials and bold forms, and found a welcoming home in Belgian ateliers. These chairs, born of this movement, stand as beautiful proof of the architectural ethos that championed an honest display of materials. Heavy oak, revered for its durability and rugged beauty, became the preferred medium for crafting robust pieces. The choice of oak goes beyond mere practicality; it is also an artistic declaration. Oak, with its pronounced grain and substantial weight, became a canvas for artisans to explore the intricate balance between form and function. The wooden joinery on these chairs, meticulously executed, not only serves as structural elements, but also contribute to the raw organic nature of the overall design. Carved details adorn the pieces, including the unusual shape of the backs, marked by hollow cutouts at the tops that defy conventional notions of comfort and instead serve a purely aesthetic role.

Brutalism was an intentional departure from the mundane, a deliberate embrace of form that challenged the boundaries of the expected. These chairs, born in the crucible of brutalist design, are experiencing a renaissance in contemporary time as a generation enamoured with nostalgia rediscovers the bold and unapologetic aesthetic of the honest style.
