Italian Folding Chairs by Aldo Jacober for Bazzani, 1960s

Mid-Century Folding Chairs in Lacquered Beech and Vienna Straw

This set of four folding chairs by Aldo Jacober for Alberto Bazzani captures the elegance of Italian mid-century modern design. Designed in the 1960s, the chairs feature lacquered beech wood frames in black finish with woven Vienna straw seats, offering both comfort and natural texture. Their clean geometry and foldable practicality make them highly versatile pieces, perfect for dining, entertaining, or display.

Minimalist Italian Modernism

The sharp triangular frame defines the chairs’ sculptural silhouette while ensuring structural strength. The combination of warm straw caning and black lacquer strikes a sophisticated balance between rustic craftsmanship and modernist design principles. Lightweight and stackable, they remain a timeless example of functional Italian furniture.

Aldo Jacober and Italian Design Heritage

Born in Padua in 1935, Aldo Jacober studied architecture in Venice before working in design. His most celebrated work, the Trieste folding chair, is part of the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York. These chairs for Bazzani represent his commitment to modernist innovation, making them both collectible and enduringly relevant.
