Set consisting of a round table and 5 chairs by Carlo Ratti for Lissoni, Italy, 1950s

Set consisting of round plywood table with wood veneer and 5 curved plywood chairs with spiked iron rod feet. The set was designed by Carlo Ratti and made by Lissoni in Italy in the 1950s. Dimensions: cm 119x119x80h (table) cm 45x50x83h (chair)
In our catalog could not miss the cornerstones of atomic design, current that preceded the space age style both chronologically and conceptually. The atomic style in Italy was closely linked to the development of plywood and their curvature and opened the way for the massive production of domestic furniture or used as furniture in state-owned companies: think of the school furniture still in use today rather than all the furnishings from the office of state-owned companies. Carlo Ratti was probably the creator of an entire category of furniture that is still used today.
