Tucroma Chairs

A set of eight Tucroma dining armchairs designed by Guido Faleschini for i4 Mariani, Italy, 1970s.

Each chair is built on a single continuous run of chrome-plated tubular steel, cantilevered so the frame carries the seat without front legs beneath it. The line is unbroken from arm to base, which is what gives the design its lightness despite the substance of the material.

The seat and back are thick tufted cushions in suede, suspended within the frame on two broad leather saddle straps that remain visible from behind. The straps are structural rather than decorative — they carry the cushions — and they are the identifying characteristic of the Tucroma series.

The combination of supple upholstery against polished metal is characteristic of Italian design of the period, and the chairs are comfortable to sit in for the length of a dinner rather than merely sculptural.

A “Made in Italy” label is present on a chair.

The chairs are sold together as a complete set of eight.

Sold as a single complete set of eight chairs. The price and delivery quote cover all eight.
