Chromed steel frame, seat and backrest upholstered in fuchsia/scarlet red cloth

This extraordinary set of four chairs, designed by architect and designer Vittorio Introini for the renowned Mario Sabot company in the 1970s, represents one of the most daring and sophisticated expressions of Italian spatial modernism. A perfect combination of geometric rigor and enveloping comfort, it becomes the focal point of any contemporary space.

The distinctive feature of this design lies in its extraordinary sled (or cantilever) structure, crafted from polished chrome-plated tubular metal. The frame's line traces a fluid, continuous curve that seamlessly ascends from the base to the floor, creating a dynamic, suspended "C" silhouette. At the back, an elegant chrome ring encircles the backrest, ensuring structural stability while also offering a striking visual detail, ideal for spaces where the chairs are visible from every angle.

Countering the cool, mirrored sheen of the metal is rich, enveloping padding. The vibrant scarlet/fuchsia fabric upholstery lends energy and personality to the entire set, enhancing its refined, pop appeal. The semicircular backrest seamlessly embraces the armrests, offering ergonomic support and a relaxed yet composed posture. The soft, generously padded seat almost seems to float within the metal frame.

Striking a balance between sculpture and everyday functionality, these armchairs reflect the masterful craftsmanship and formal research of 1970s Italian design. Ideal around a minimalist dining table or as conversation seats in a sophisticated living room, they are collectible pieces with a timeless visual impact.

They measure 70 cm high, 64 cm wide, 55 cm deep, and 40 cm high from the seat.

Very good condition, as shown in the photos. The fabric is intact and the frame shows only minor signs of age and use.
