Description«A beautiful example of the famous Chiavari chair. These lightweight chairs have been made for more than 200 years in the Italian village of the same name. They enjoyed enormous success until the Thonet chair, which was machine-made and much cheaper, took over. They were the inspiration for Gio Ponti’s 1957 Superleggera chair and to this day remain unbeatable in terms of lightness, strength and elegance.»
