Mario Marenco "Sapporo" Chairs for Mobil Girgi, Reddish Brown, 1970, Set of 8
About the Item
Mario Marenco "Sapporo" chairs for Mobil Girgi, reddish-brown leather and beech, Italy, 1970, set of eight.
The iconic "Sapporo" chair consists of a particular backrest, conceived with two vertical slats slightly separated. The immediate impact of this chair is strong: the sculptural backrest is connected with the flat front legs, creating a charming combination. With a style close to the iconic "Africa" chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, the Italian beechwood combined with the reddish-brown leather seat gives the chair a sense of class and elegance.
Internationally known as an architect and designer, few people know that Mario Marenco (1993-2019) has been primarily a great Italian actor. He used to work in collaboration with some of the best manufacturers of the period, such as Poltrona Frau, Artemide, and Arflex.
Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.

Mario Marenco Sapporo chairs for Mobil Girgi Italy 1970
By Mobil Girgi, Mario Marenco
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design.
They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern.
Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures.
Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied architecture in Naples and won research grants for Stockholm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of architecture and...
