Mid century round bamboo & wicker ottoman stool. This pouf was designed by Franco Albini in Italy in the 1960s. Franco Albini's extraordinary architectural ideas emerge in their purity and poetry of form, mixing form with fantastic materials. A must for lovers of mid-century rattan design, as this pair fits perfectly into a modern living room and will add a touch of the French Riviera. Franco Albini (17 October 1905 – 1 November 1977) was an Italian Neo-Rationalist architect, designer and university instructor in design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
