This charming chair in solid rosewood was designed by the Italian-born furniture designer Carlo Benvenuto Fongaro (1915-1986) in the 1950s.
Fongaro collaborated in developing the first experiences in office furniture with modern, simple, and creative solutions, using rosewood and structured steel pieces. In several companies, such as Ambiente and Probjeto, he also created furniture for homes, where he used some materials that identified with the local culture, such as natural fibers.
This chair comprises turned solid wood with fantastic fittings and impressive construction. The seating rests over a crossed base, and all piece shows gorgeous tones of rosewood.
