This exceptional set of six Mid-Century Modern dining chairs Known as Model 107, showcases Frattini’s signature attention to detail, where refined aesthetics, high-quality materials, and comfort seamlessly coexist.
Each chair features a sleek black-lacquered walnut frame, a wood known for its durability and rich texture. The structure is characterized by its clean, geometric lines and expertly crafted joints, reflecting the precision and artistry of Italian furniture-making during this period. The subtly curved backrest provides ergonomic support while maintaining a streamlined silhouette, reinforcing the minimalist yet sophisticated look. The legs, elegantly tapered, enhance the chair’s lightweight yet sturdy construction.
The seats are upholstered in striking red faux leather, creating a bold contrast against the dark wood. This upholstery has been carefully restored to match the original vibrant color, ensuring that the chairs retain their authentic mid-century charm. Beneath the surface, brand-new filling enhances the seating comfort, making them as practical as they are stylish.
The restoration has been executed with great respect for the original design. The wooden structure has been meticulously repaired and refinished, preserving its original black lacquer while maintaining the chair’s vintage appeal. The reupholstered seats, faithful to the original material and color, have been carefully crafted to provide long-lasting comfort and durability. In remarkable condition with only few signs of time

Gianfranco Frattini (1926–2004) was one of the most influential Italian designers of the mid-century modern era. After graduating from the Politecnico di Milano in 1953, he quickly became known for his refined approach to furniture design, blending functionality with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Frattini worked closely with some of Italy’s most prestigious manufacturers, including Cassina, Artemide, and Bernini, producing designs that remain highly collectible today. His style often emphasized clean geometric lines, a strong architectural presence, and high-quality materials..
Cassina, founded in 1927 by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda, Italy, became a pioneer in modern Italian furniture. By the 1950s and 1960s, Figli di Amedeo Cassina (the division continuing the founder’s legacy) collaborated with top designers such as Gio Ponti, Vico Magistretti, and Frattini, helping shape the era’s most iconic furniture pieces. The company’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation made it a benchmark for luxury Italian design.
