Description from the seller
Jet-Set Refinement: Set of 4 White Leather Chairs – Willy Rizzo Design (1960s-70s)
We present at auction an exclusive set of four chairs designed by Willy Rizzo, an undisputed protagonist of the style that defined the cosmopolitan elegance of the 1970s. This lot represents a perfect balance between the rigidity of the lacquered structure, the modernity of steel, and the luxury of white leather.
Design and Aesthetic Characteristics
The chairs embody Rizzo's philosophy: functional yet sophisticated design, conceived for the period's most exclusive interiors.
- Materials: Wooden frame with lacquer finish, enhanced by strips of stainless steel that underscore its architectural geometry.
- Aesthetics: The contrast between the black of the structure and the optical white of the leather creates a visually striking impression of great modernity and formal clarity.
- Bibliography: Model published in Casa Vogue, November/December 1972.
Lot Conditions: Total Professional Restoration
The set has undergone a high-level, comprehensive restoration and is presented in excellent, like-new condition:
- Frame: The chairs have been dismantled and checked for structural integrity. The frames are solid, robust, and defect-free.
- Lacquering: A new professional paint job has been performed, returning the chairs to a perfect, deep finish free of marks.
- Upholstery: The seats have been completely reupholstered with new high-quality white leather. The leather is intact, soft, and flawless, never used after restoration.
- Steel Details: The satin stainless steel strips have been cleaned and polished, restoring their original shine.
The set is ready to be placed in a high-profile interior design project, guaranteeing another fifty years of style and functionality.

The Designer: Willy Rizzo (1928-2013)
Photographer of international stars—from Marilyn Monroe to Salvador Dalí—Willy Rizzo began his design career in Rome in 1966. Soon his creations became the symbol of a cosmopolitan lifestyle, giving rise to the term "Jet Set." His works, exhibited in institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, combine the photographer's imagination with the precision of the designer, creating enduring pieces.
