A highly unusual and decorative pair of high-back chairs, dating to the 1970s. These pieces represent a sophisticated example of the "Radical Craft" movement, where designers and artisans rediscovered traditional, humble materials to create avant-garde, sculptural forms. Each chair features a monumental, vertical silhouette entirely enveloped in a meticulous hand-weaving of natural straw (cordoncino). This technique creates a rich, rhythmic texture that covers the structural frame seamlessly from the top of the elongated backrest to the base. The imposing height of the backrest provides a throne-like, totemic presence, while the organic nature of the material offers a warm, tactile contrast to the geometric precision of the design. These chairs are exceptional examples of furniture as "Functional Art," blurring the lines between domestic seating and primitive sculpture. Their timeless aesthetic makes them a perfect fit for a contemporary "Wabi-Sabi" interior or as a powerful, earthy statement in a modernist gallery setting.
