SET OF 6 CHAIRS

A study in organic dynamism and structural expression, this set of six side chairs reflects the mid-century architectural lineage of the School of Turin. Defined by a tripod configuration, each chair features a sculpted three-legged base—with two front legs tapering downward and a central rear leg rising directly to support a suspended, winged backrest.

Constructed from carved solid wood, the design balances tectonic economy with fluid, expressive lines reminiscent of modern Italian organicism. The sculpted seat, contoured with subtle ergonomic recessing, works alongside the floating backrest to create a silhouette that is at once graphic and light in space.

Artist

Centred around the visionary influence of Carlo Mollino, the "School of Turin" represents the peak of Italian Organic Modernism. Moving away from rigid industrialism, Turin’s designers treated furniture as functional sculpture, defined by aerodynamic "stiletto" legs and fluid, hand-worked wood frames. This movement is celebrated for its rare balance of technical bravado and elegant, skeletal forms, making it a staple for collectors who bridge the gap between mid-century heritage and contemporary art.

Material Variations & Handcrafted Character

Each work presented by Pièce de Résistance is individually hand-crafted or produced in limited studio editions using raw, natural, or hand-worked materials—including wood, metal, resin, and ceramic. Due to the artisanal methodology and organic nature of these materials, subtle variations in texture, grain, tone, patination, and minor dimensional nuances are inherent to the process. Imagery and gallery display pieces (including Artist Proofs) serve as accurate references, but final pieces may display unique, natural distinctions. These variations are essential to the artistic integrity of collectible design and do not constitute defects.

Limitation of Liability

Neither Pièce de Résistance nor its represented designers and artists shall be held liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the handling, installation, use, or placement of any object. The gallery and its designers assume no liability for damage, wear, or alteration occurring after final delivery and client acceptance, including damage resulting from improper installation, environmental exposure, or normal wear and tear.
