17” seat height x 19” seat width x 17” seat depth x 19” total width x 20” total depth x 31” overall height
An iconic and rare set of Saddle Chairs by Franco Vattolo for IBISCO SEDIE, these Italian mid-century dining chairs embody a striking balance of architectural form, tactile materials, and understated craftsmanship. Each chair features a minimalist solid-wood frame constructed from broad, flat planks that define the legs and angular armrests, contrasted by a single continuous panel of thick, camel-colored saddle leather. Tautly suspended across the frame, the leather forms a sculptural, enveloping seat and backrest, creating a distinctive sense of lightness and comfort. The richly patinated leather displays natural variations in tone and an authentic aged character, beautifully complemented by the exposed metal rivets and fasteners that secure the upholstery to the wooden structure. With their graphic silhouette, warm organic materials, and quietly expressive construction, these rare Saddle Chairs by Franco Vattolo for IBISCO SEDIE are a distinctive example of Italian modernist design and a compelling addition to a sophisticated collection.
Priced and sold as a set of four or six. The four sale would include the best condition of the bunch.
Very good / excellent vintage condition. Structurally sound and no major flaws to note. Light patina to leather- no rips, tears or major flaws. One seat has heavy patina as shown.
