set of 4 Matteo Grassi “Coral” Armchairs, Carlo Bartoli, 1980s Italy, Black Genuine Leather, Rare High Back, Italian Design
Rare original Matteo Grassi “Coral” armchairs designed by Carlo Bartoli, Italy, 1980s.
A sophisticated example of Italian furniture design, the Coral armchair combines architectural geometry with soft, sculptural curves. Designed by renowned Italian designer Carlo Bartoli for Matteo Grassi, the chair reflects the refined approach to form, proportion and leather craftsmanship associated with Italian design of the period.
This is the high-back version, upholstered in beautiful genuine black leather. The design is particularly striking for its contrast between the straight, structured surfaces and crisp edges of the chair body and the elegantly curved armrests.
The generously proportioned backrest creates a strong architectural silhouette while providing excellent support. The curved armrests soften the otherwise geometric form and give the chair a distinctive and inviting appearance.
The chairs are supported by elegant painted chrome-colored metal legs, creating a visually light base beneath the substantial leather-upholstered body.
A beautiful choice for a dining room, executive office, conference room, lounge, library or sophisticated contemporary interior.
