Set of Four Italian Mid-Century Modern High Back Dining Chairs by Aldo Tura
-
Description
A set of four tall ladder-back dining chairs by Aldo Tura, circa 1950's. The chairs frames are made of gloss black ebonized wood and the backrests feature lacquered goatskin parchment applied on both front and back.
Born in 1909, Italian designer-maker Aldo Tura established his furniture production house in Lombardy in 1939. Working between the idioms of Art Deco and modernism, Tura created singular, high-end furniture and accessories that were typified by rich materials, sculptural forms, and high-end, artisanal techniques. Tura’s work has become highly collectible, especially examples with exotic finishes— like eggshell, goatskin, and parchment—in intense palettes of red, green, and yellow.
Tura was one of the most unique design talents of the Italian midcentury. In the postwar years, as many furniture producers were adjusting their production methods toward mass production, Tura remained committed to slow, traditional hand craftsmanship. He favoured intricate, complex forms and labor-intensive processes that could never by replicated in a large scale factory system. -
