Set of 4 Quinta Chairs by Mario Botta for Alias, 1985

About the item
This set of four Quinta Chairs by Mario Botta for Alias combines a strong architectural presence with surprising comfort. The black seat, the perforated back, and the slender metal frame together form a graphic and particularly timeless whole.

About design and history
The Quinta was designed in 1985 and is constructed from black lacquered steel, with a perforated metal back and seat on a continuous tubular structure that also forms the armrests and base. The pronounced geometry and clear construction perfectly reflect Botta's architectural design language.

About the designer and maker
Mario Botta , born in 1943, is a Swiss architect and designer known for powerful geometry, symmetry, and monumental simplicity. For Alias, he translated that architectural vision into furniture that is highly appreciated today within postmodern and collectible design.

About fitness
The four chairs are in very good vintage condition . The black lacquered metal and the perforated seats and backrests are beautifully preserved and give the set a neat, uniform appearance.
