The designs of Italian designer Gabriella Crespi are exemplary of the 1970s. This set of 8 folding chairs are made of leather tapped with brass fittings into a rattan frame rounded at the feet. Influenced by the cosmic and futuristic qualities of simple rounded metal forms, Crespi unapologetically contrasted brass with natural materials and imagery such as bamboo and lotus leaves.
