High-Back Dining Chairs by Aldo Tura, Italy –1962
Description
Designed in 1962 by Aldo Tura and produced by Tura Atelier in Milan, these high-back dining chairs reflect the designer’s refined and unmistakable material vocabulary. The slender mahogany frames, finished in a deep gloss, rise to subtle finial tops that accentuate their vertical silhouette. Each backrest is inset with red lacquered goatskin parchment, applied to both front and reverse, creating a luminous surface that contrasts elegantly with the dark timber. The upholstered seats, trimmed with brass rivets, introduce a discreet decorative accent while reinforcing the craftsmanship inherent in Tura’s atelier production.
Aldo Tura’s work stands apart within postwar Italian design for its synthesis of artisanal techniques and sculptural presence. The interplay of polished wood, lacquered parchment, and vibrant upholstery situates these chairs firmly within the sophisticated Milanese aesthetic of the early 1960s. As a cohesive dining ensemble, they offer seating for eight persons, embodying both functional clarity and the material opulence that defines Tura’s enduring legacy. Priced as a set of 8.
