Born in Bologna but grown up in Milan, Melchiorre Bega is a fine professional who spans five decades and three seasons of Italian architecture, from rationalism to international style and on to brutalism. As early as the 1930s and 1940s, it was Ponti's Domus that reserved ample space for the presentation of Bega's projects, which were mainly dwellings for the upper middle class in Milan, Bologna, and Rome.
Here we have a rare set of six chairs designed for a private villa in the 1950s by Melchiorre Bega and produced by Manifattura Vittorio Bega Arredamenti Bologna.
Wooden structure with brass tips and velvet covering.
The chairs are in very good condition, original and ready to be shipped.
