Italian artist and designer Giorgio Wenter Marini (1890-1973) produced a small range of furniture, often mixing square forms with organic materials - along with a range of other artistic expression. This set of dining chairs are made using solid cherrywood frames with an angled back supporting exaggerated triangular design to the seat back. Seats are hand-corded and woven hemp. Produced in 1947 for the Italian villa "Casa Menardi" in Cortina - now a resort. Set of four - the seats have now been completely re-woven - images to follow.
