These chairs were in black lacquer finish but we have had them stripped back to the original ash wood in which these chairs were originally made.
They have been refinished in an antique wax which retains their vintage patina but shows off the lovely ash wood grain patterns.
We have also had them recovered in a new vintage steel grey velvet material.
This makes for a unique set of Gio Ponti Leggera dining chairs manufactured by Cassina in the 1950s.
We have extensive photos of the chairs in their pre-restored state that show these are genuine 1950s vintage chairs manufactured by Cassina.
Following years of notable work throughout Italy, Gio Ponti was elected to design the Pirelli Tower, perhaps his crowning achievement. Throughout his prolific career, Ponti was also known for furniture, especially chairs. A minimal piece with a refined, clear form, his lightweight yet strong Leggera Chair (1952) effortlessly adapts to different spaces.
