This striking vintage side chair, attributed to iconic Italian designer Gio Ponti, features his signature exaggerated high ladder back with a sculptural silhouette. The chair has a solid wood frame and a hand-woven rush seat. Likely produced around 1939 for Casa e Giardino this chair brings a touch of classic Italian design and rustic warmth to any space. The chair is stamped under one of the chair rails "Made in Italy 592 Piazza Original Sim02" and there is an original paper label under the seat indicating that it is made of genuine rush in Italy.
