Set of 4 Rare Selene Chairs by Vico Magistretti for Artemide Milano, Italy 1969, Space Age Fiberglass Chairs, Cream White
Exceptional set of 4 original Selene chairs, designed by the renowned Italian designer Vico Magistretti and produced by S.P.A. Artemide Milano in Italy.
The chairs are an iconic example of Italian Space Age and Mid-Century design, featuring Magistretti’s characteristic sculptural silhouette and distinctive S-shaped legs.
The chairs are finished in an elegant cream-white / off-white color, making them highly versatile and easy to combine with both vintage and contemporary interiors.
The underside of the chairs is authentically marked:
“S.P.A. ARTEMIDE MILANO
MODELLO SELENE
DESIGN VICO MAGISTRETTI
MADE IN ITALY
PATENT 793415”
The Selene was designed by Vico Magistretti in 1966, with production beginning in 1969. The design was produced by Artemide for many years and became one of Magistretti’s best-known furniture designs.
The chairs were produced using Reglar® / fiberglass-reinforced polyester, formed using a compression-molding process. This innovative construction allowed the entire chair to be created as a single molded shell with the characteristic folded legs providing structural strength.
The result is a remarkably elegant and lightweight chair with a strong sculptural presence — a true classic of Italian industrial design.
