Bentwood Dining Chairs

This is a set of six dining chairs designed by Carlo Ratti for Industria Legni Curvati in the 1960s. The chairs are formed from bent plywood with a teak veneer, and have black tubular steel legs. The curved seats give a nice contrast to the straight minimalistic metal legs. The slightly tapered legs are slanted and are unmistakably Italian in form.

Each chair measures 19 inches deep, 19 inches wide, and 31 inches high. Their seat height is 17.5 inches. The plywood has signs of use, and shows some small scratches. It appears that there were some well-done repairs to the veneer at some point. There is some age apparent to the legs. Overall, these chairs are in good condition with light signs of use.
