Chiavarina Dining Chair
Passion for the Past – The past is our best inspiration. In contrast with the standardized current trends the past is exciting and provides us with memories that we do not want to forget.
The pieces are unique. They are the result of the designer´s and artisan's commitment and passion for a luxurious past. Excellence defines each piece. Involved in its refinement our imagination travels through time and through elegant and pleasant places.
“Our exclusive work recreates feelings and stories of other times that seek to build a perfect past. A past full of passionate memories, inspiring feelings of nostalgia.” - João Bessa.
The Chiavarina was created in 1807 by a carpenter from Chiavari, Italy. Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi reformulated some of the French Empire style chairs by simplifying the decorative elements and by emphasizing the structural features. The chair was such a success that soon after many factories opened in Chiavari and neighbouring towns. The Chiavarina became a world icon and it is still used today in noble and important events. Bessa has redesigned this piece, adding back the French decorative elements in a hand-carved handle. The chair gains a new, more contemporary look, while preserving its roots.
