Sun chair "Lido" by Battista and Gino Giudici / Authentic

About the Item

Here the silhouette is strong. It is presented through the outline and shape of the piece. Early version of the famous Lido "sun chair", created by Swiss designers and brothers Battista and Gino Giudici, in ca. 1935 and manufactured in ca. 1946 by Fratelli Giudici, Locarno for Wohnbedarf AG. Created by a simple gesture, its frame has a dynamic shape defined by both curved and straight lines. It is made out of tubular steel poles which are galvanized on the inside and on the inside, so to be waterproof. In spite of its stiff, precise silhouette, the chair is light and simple. The canvas allows proper relaxation. Due to the relationship of the frame and the fabric, the piece appears bouncy and flexible. By removing the fabric, the chair is stackable, so to save space. All parts are authentic, so the piece is in its original condition. It also has wood pieces for armrests which are originally painted in gray colour. P! Galerie’s selection is mainly focused on design masterpieces between 1918 and 1970. Apart from rare French mid-century modern design artefacts by Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand, our offer includes masterpieces of historic importance and value by Gerrit Rietveld, Lina Bo Bardi, Marcel Breuer, Oscar Niemeyer, or, for example, Eileen Gray. Following all ethical and juridical requirements, all items from our carefully curated collection come with a certificate of authenticity. We try to preserve as much of patina as possible during the process of restoration, as it defines these historic pieces. Not only do we cooperate with museums and offer auction houses our services and expert opinion, we also look forward to welcoming you as a private collector and connoisseur. Literature: Arthur Ruegg, 'Swiss Furniture and Interiors in the 20th Century' (Basel: Birkhäuser, 2002), 130-131.

Gerrit Rietveld, Red and Blue Chair / Authentic Chair
By Gerrit Rietveld Jr.
Located in Zürich, CH
Here we see a playful kind of experimentation, different from the average modern design, which is more well-behaved and dogmatic. It’s radical, it’s curious, it pushes boundaries. That is a one-of-a-kind piece – unique and outstanding, it holds a museum exhibit quality. An artefact for collectors and connoisseurs. A piece without any compromises. Highly valuable, rarely even offered by auction houses. However, it comes with a price. Originally designed in 1917, this chair is a true representation and one of the first pieces of De Stijl movement. Founded in the Netherlands as a reaction against the horrors of WWI, its visual language consisted of pure, geometrical forms and primary colours. As forms and shapes tended to establish balance and harmony in a world of chaos, this piece is a manifestation of the idea. Some of the first chairs were made for the "Rietveld Schröder House...
