Mid-Century Modern Rectangular Bench, 1970s

This bench from the 1970s, made in Italy, stands out with its black lacquered iron structure and legs finished in brass. Technically, its iron construction provides strength and durability, while the black lacquer gives it an elegant and modern look. The legs with brass caps add a touch of sophistication and harmoniously contrast with the lacquered iron.

The upholstery of this bench is made with the distinctive geometric fabric, Pierre Frey’s Carriacou model. This geometric colorful pattern reflects the design aesthetics of the era, characterized by a focus on bold shapes and patterns. The choice of geometric fabric highlights the influence of the modernist and avant-garde design of the 1970s.
