Frank Lloyd Wright "Barrel" Chairs For Cassina, 1937, Set Of 8

Product Details

Product Description

The set of 8 "Barrel" chairs for Cassina, crafted in Italy, boasts a timeless design that showcases Frank Lloyd Wright's exceptional construction expertise. Wright created this iconic chair shape in 1937, based on an original 1904 design. The armchair's barrel-like structure is the result of 37 precisely fitted parts, where the base and chair back consist of three pieces of solid wood, each bent at different angles. The two halves are cut and glued together to provide an intricate and balanced design, with every joint hand-carved into the wood. Frank Lloyd Wright, an architect and designer whose work was influenced by the beauty of natural materials, pursued an eco-friendly design ethos and promoted craftsmanship in his works. Apart from groundbreaking architectural structures, he also created intricate furnishings and custom elements. Our team of skilled artisans has carefully restored these chairs, giving them a new lease of life with a burgundy velvet upholstery. The chairs may show slight signs of age, but these only add to their charm and character.
