AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming and highly decorative pair of original Brevetti Reguitti folding chairs, made in Italy in the 1950s and presented together in two different sizes.
A particularly appealing example of post-war Italian functional design, these two chairs share the same ingenious folding concept while being produced on distinctly different scales. Displayed together, the contrast between the smaller and larger chair creates an unusual and highly characteristic pair.
Both chairs are made of beechwood, with slatted seats and backs and articulated wooden frames incorporating the folding mechanism. The construction allows each chair to be folded almost completely flat, making it lightweight, compact and easily transportable.
This practical approach to furniture design is characteristic of Brevetti Reguitti, the Italian manufacturer renowned during the post-war period for its cleverly engineered folding, adjustable and space-saving furniture.
Both examples retain the original “BREVETTI REGUITTI – MADE IN ITALY” factory marks with the FR monogram, clearly visible on the reverse.
The chairs have been preserved in their authentic original patina and have deliberately not been restored or refinished. The warm honey-toned beechwood shows attractive signs of age and use, including surface wear, small scratches and variations in colour that give the pieces their genuine vintage character.
Importantly, there are no cracks, structural breaks or restorations. Both folding mechanisms operate correctly and, when opened, the chairs are stable, solid and resistant.
Portable folding chairs of this type are sometimes referred to on the vintage market as beach chairs or portable chairs, reflecting their compact construction and ease of transport.
What makes this lot particularly attractive is the opportunity to acquire two original Brevetti Reguitti chairs from the same period in two different dimensions, creating a visually striking and unusual ensemble while clearly illustrating the versatility of Reguitti's folding furniture concept.
