Set of iconic Ico & Luisa Parisi dining chairs manufactured by Ariberto Colombo, Cantù, circa 1952
this version with a wooden backrest is a later version; the original version is with a seat pad covered with red synthetic leather then re-upholstery with a gold yellow velvet; this version is with a wooden structure in mahogany “the seat pad seams float on the supports of the underlying X-shaped frame.
This solution makes it possible to link the four legs, lending a sense of lightness to the seat. The vertical wooden elements are skillfully tapered at the edges-.” by “Ico Parisi” Roberta Lietti catalog
