Set of 4 Italian Elm Dining Chairs by Romanutti, Italy, 1970s

This 1970s set of romanutti dining chairs is living proof that simple design is requires sophisticated thinking. Taking a closer look at the flat, slim elm panels which make up this chair reveals a thorough attention to detail, coupled with profound knowledge in woodworking. The masterful joinery is seconded by hex flat head connector bolts which keep the chair firm and steady, while also becoming a decorative feature. The seat reclines slightly, ensuring maximum comfort is attained. Whether these chairs are a nod to constructivist or naïve design - one thing is for certain - they are very pleasant to look at. A table which works wonderfully with this set is also available.
