Giuseppe Scapinelli Dining Chairs for Fábrica de Móveis Giesse, 1950, Set of 2
About the Item
Giuseppe Scapinelli dining chairs for Fábrica de Móveis Giesse, Brazil, 1950, set of two.
These dining chairs, designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli, feature a wooden structure with a sculptural profile. Each chair uses a symmetrical open quadrilateral frame. The back legs fold inward without disrupting a strict 90-degree angle. Walnut grain follows each curve, emphasizing precision joinery and natural materiality. The front legs stand on splayed bracket feet. Three spindles—two lateral, one rear—support the backrest with exact spacing. The seat and back form soft geometric planes, upholstered in ivory velvet. The backrest, shaped like a butterfly, merges comfort with architectural presence. Reinforced wooden struts follow the back post contours, ensuring durability and visual continuity. Integrates a bentwood illusion within a rigid structure using open-frame geometry, a typical feature of Brazilian modern designers.
Giuseppe Scapinelli (1891-1982) was an Italian designer born in Modena, but lived his whole life in Sao Paolo, Brazil. He there founded a furniture company, Fábrica de Móveis Giesse, and a rug company, Fábrica de Tapetes Santa Helena, in the 1950s. He is frequently mentioned among the best Brazilian designers, such as Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin, Joaquim Tenreiro, and Oscar Niemeyer.
