Item Details
Description
New to Jasper52

An extremely rare set of the 'Tripolina' folding chair designed by Joseph B. Fenby. The Tripolina chair was made from prior to WWII by the firm of Vigano? in Tripoli, Libya, for the expatriate Italian market as a camping chair of great stability in the sand and made from local wood and camel or cow hide. The Italian firm of Vigano? clearly stamped their products on the rear of the hides with their large "Paolo Vigano? Tripoli" oval seal. This first folding chair from the late 19th century, 1881, inspired a lot of designers, of which the best known example is the 'Butterfly chair' by Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy. This pair of chairs are in completely original condition and have a beautiful patina. The leather seats are stamped with the original oval Paolo Vigano? Tripoli logo. Beautiful antique chairs in a very good general condition and without doubt truly To be called museum pieces.
