Description from the seller
Italian Ebony Excellence: Set of 6 Chairs "Model 620" – Silvio Coppola Design – Original Bernini Production (1964)
We present at auction a set of 6 chairs "Model 620", among the highest expressions of Italian design of the 1960s, designed by master Silvio Coppola in 1964 for the prestigious Bernini manufactory. The lot stands out for its most elegant and noble pairing: an imposing and solid walnut wood frame paired with upholstery in finest black leather for seat and backrest.
Design and History: Geometry Encountered in the Cabinetmaking
The 620 chair boasts a minimal design of extraordinary formal impact, ideal to enhance both high-representation dining areas and contemporary environments:
Visible Joinery and Formal Rigor: The walnut wooden frame highlights the visible interlocking details, a perfect synthesis between Coppola’s graphic precision and Bernini’s high-standards in cabinetmaking.
Material Contrast: The dialogue between the sculptural rigidity of the solid walnut frame and the soft calibration of the leather creates a clean, rigorous, timeless visual balance.
Lot Conditions: Excellent Conservation State
- The entire set of 6 chairs is of original Bernini production and after careful restoration presents itself in excellent usable condition:
- Walnut Frame: The walnut wooden structures are solid, stable and perfectly intact. The surfaces have been treated with professional products to revive the natural veins of the wood, preserving an intact and uniform patina of the era.
- Seat and Comfort: The padding maintains a soft, elastic, and fully supportive texture, offering ergonomic comfort ideal even for prolonged use.
- Black Leather Upholstery: The black leather is in excellent condition, free of tears or cuts, showing only slight and natural signs of time consistent with the pieces’ age. The upholstery has been thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and nourished with specific products.
- Authenticity Guaranteed: The originality and conformity of the lot are rigorously attested by the original Bernini label under the seat of each piece.
