Set of Six Italian Chairs by Arch. Vito Sangirardi for Pallante shop, Bari

About the Item

Rare set of six Italian chairs designed by architect Vito SanGirardi for the Pallante shop in Bari, Palo del Colle in the 1950s. The set is made of sturdy mahogany wood. Its seat is made of white Italian fabric. The furnishings of the Pallante shop were all made to measure by the architect, in fact not if there are other similar ones of that production. The design of the sono is geometric and linear. A play of perfect joints in the wood determine the configuration of the seat. The shop's furnishings are also in the same line. The chairs are perfect for furnishing dining areas in mid-century style with a reminder of architectural cleanliness. The set of chairs is in its original condition and has flaws and shortcomings, which is why they will be fully restored and delivered in excellent condition. VITO SANGIRARDI: In Naples he attended courses at the Royal University of Architecture, graduating on 21st December 1938. After a few years in Naples, he returned to Puglia where he married Luigia Mastronardi in 1941, with whom he had four children, and lived in Sannicandro (Bari) where he also had his first studio. It is a period of about 9 years of activity, interrupted by the war events in which he is forced to participate in the military genius. As the post-war years went by, the centre of interest of his activity moved towards the capital city; therefore, since 1953 he has been living in Bari, where he has mainly carried out his profession, which however, is of widespread interest throughout the entire Apulian territory. Since 1953 his studio has been located in Via Abbrescia 89; until 1968, when he moved to the 2nd floor of a building he designed and owned by Assicurazioni Generali in Via Michelangelo Signorile 2, where he has shared office and business with his son Germano since 1979. In 1960 he was elected President of the Order of Architects of Apulia, remaining in office until 1971. In this role, having worked continuously for a long time, especially in Bari, he was able to participate actively in the city's debate on its urban development, leaving various contributions on the subject, communicated at conferences and through newspaper articles.
