Rialto chairs by Carl Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs for Puunveisto Oy

A pair of “Rialto” armchairs designed by Finnish architect and designer Carl Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs in 1957.

Original models produced by his own furniture company, Puunveisto Oy. First edition in teak with spring-loaded cushions. Rare on the market.

Carl Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs had a low-key career in the world of design. Today, his work is recognized worldwide.

This armchair combines several crafts: wood and leather. The result is fabulous.

It is both minimalist and sophisticated.

It was designed and exhibited for the 11th Milan Triennale in 1957.

The teak frame with its curved legs is crafted from a single piece of wood, and the cabinetmaker’s assembly of the straight-backed armrests is flawless.

The refined look is achieved through the black leather upholstery on the armrests and the woven backrest made from the same material. The armchair, a functional object, becomes a luxurious decorative piece.

The seats and backrests are also covered in a new ecru bouclé fabric.

In very good condition.
