The sculptural Rialto chair is a true masterpiece in carpentry. The chair that was originally designed for the Milan Triennale in 1957 combines streamlined forms with refined details.
The streamlined design and sophisticated details engage in a fascinating dialogue. The braided leather straps at the back and curved legs shaped from a single piece of wood give Rialto its unique appearance.
Re-issued in autumn 2020, Rialto is a contemporary classic that changes its appearance depending on the chosen wood type, upholstery, backrest and armrest finishes.
The frame is available in four options: mahogany, walnut, oak and birch. The backrest can be chosen in exquisite leather braiding or stunning raw linen. Leather straps are also available for the armrests.
