Descrizione:

The partnership between architect and painter Gabriele Mucchi and industrialist Emilio Pino represents an exemplary case in the context of nascent Italian proto design in the interwar years. In fact, Mucchi designed a series of steel tube seats for the Parabiago metal furniture company, creating successful models, such as the S.5 stackable chair, used by several architects for their interior designs. This was the case with Luigi Carlo Daneri, who used several models of tubular metal chairs and armchairs for the furnishings of his Rinaldo Piaggio mountain colony in Santo Stefano d'Aveto (1939). Tubular metal and plywood chair with simple, geometric lines.
