set of 6 chairs
An exceptional example of Italian Space Age design, the Melaina chair combines sculptural presence with functional comfort. Designed as a seamless fiberglass monoblock, the chair features fluid organic curves and a futuristic silhouette characteristic of the radical Italian design movement of the 1970s.
Its low, enveloping seat and glossy molded surface create a striking visual statement while maintaining ergonomic comfort. The design reflects Rodolfo Bonetto’s innovative approach to industrial materials and his fascination with futuristic forms.
Highly collectible and increasingly rare, the Melaina chair is considered an iconic piece of postmodern Italian design and works equally well as a functional lounge chair or sculptural statement piece in contemporary interiors.
