Giuseppe Scapinelli 'Model X' Dining Chairs
This set of Brazilian jacaranda dining chairs carries the same sculptural instinct Scapinelli brought to his lounge furniture, translated into a dining chair — a distinctive X-form backrest carved from solid jacaranda, with clean leather seats that let the woodwork carry the design. It's a quieter application of his signature curved language, built for a table rather than a room's centrepiece, but no less considered in its joinery. The full set of six survives in excellent original condition, a rare thing for dining chairs of this vintage that were actually used rather than kept for display.
