Italian Mid-Century Dining Chairs by Silvio Coppola, 1970s

Mid-Century Italian Pine Chairs

This set of six dining chairs by Silvio Coppola for Fratelli Montina exemplifies Italian design of the 1970s. Constructed in solid pine with a warm stained finish and rich patina, the chairs balance functionality with sculptural presence. Coppola’s architectural approach is evident in the bold lines and sturdy frame, offering durability alongside timeless modernist style.

Brutalist Influence and Application

Designed with a constructivist and brutalist sensibility, these chairs reflect the Italian movement toward strong geometric forms and raw natural materials. Their design provides both aesthetic impact and everyday practicality, making them ideal for dining rooms, creative workspaces, or minimalist interiors.

1970s Italian Design Context

Silvio Coppola (1920–1986) was renowned for merging traditional materials with a modernist vision. In collaboration with Fratelli Montina, he produced pieces that showcased the expressive potential of pine wood, celebrating its knots, grain, and texture. These dining chairs encapsulate the innovative Italian furniture culture of the 1970s, where honesty of material and architectural rigor defined the aesthetic.
