Technical Materials: This set of three Model 4875 dining chairs, designed by the visionary Carlo Bartoli for Kartell in the 1970s, is a definitive staple of Italian Space Age design. Crafted from high-quality red ABS plastic, these chairs feature the world’s first monobloc design with removable legs, a technical milestone in industrial furniture. The cream-white finish offers a sophisticated, neutral alternative to the more common bold colors of the era, emphasizing the clean, architectural silhouette and the seamless integration of the backrest.
Condition: These are original vintage pieces in good used condition. As authentic artifacts from the 70s, they show slight signs of time (minor surface scuffs or light age-related patina) which add to their historical character without compromising their structural integrity. They remain solid, stable, and perfectly functional.
Versatility: The Model 4875 is a true classic of Italian industrial design. In this elegant white finish, the set becomes an incredibly versatile seating solution, fitting seamlessly into a Parisian mid-century dining room, a contemporary Berlin loft, or a minimalist Milanese studio. Their weather-resistant ABS construction also makes them suitable for high-end covered terraces or sunrooms. They pair beautifully with chrome-and-glass tables or organic wooden textures.
