Carlo Bartoli Mito Chairs for Tisettanta, Italy 1970s

Mito chairs by Carlo Bartoli for Tisettanta

Designed in the 1970s by Carlo Bartoli for Tisettanta, the Mito chair is a celebrated example of Italian industrial design. The chair is crafted from a single bent sheet of plywood, giving it both lightness and strength, while maintaining a fluid sculptural form. Its continuous curves and warm beech finish highlight Bartoli’s ability to merge technical innovation with aesthetic simplicity.

Lightweight elegance and functional design

Despite their solid appearance, these chairs are extremely lightweight and versatile, making them ideal for both residential and commercial interiors. The ergonomic curvature of the seat and backrest ensures comfort, while the organic silhouette makes them visually striking from every angle. Their minimalist construction reflects the modernist ethos of efficiency without sacrificing beauty.
