Barrel Chair in Red Velvet and Wood by Frank Lloyd Wright

We offer for sale an authentic “Barrel” chair designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and produced by Cassina, an iconic piece of international design that combines sculptural aesthetics with exceptional craftsmanship. Made in Italy, this version features a patinated wood frame, warm and textured, which enhances the enveloping lines typical of this model. The seat, upholstered in red velvet, adds character and sophistication, making it the perfect piece for both classic and contemporary spaces. The original design, conceived in the early 1900s and perfected in 1937, stands out for its complex architecture: the chair is composed of multiple elements perfectly joined together, a result of precise workmanship and advanced wood-bending techniques. The outcome is a solid, harmonious, and surprisingly ergonomic structure. From a conservation perspective, the wood is in excellent condition, retaining its beauty and stability. The padded seat shows some signs of wear, consistent with the age of the piece, attesting to its authenticity and history. A rare and sought-after piece, ideal for collectors and lovers of designer furniture.
