His work, particularly in the 1950s, reflects the innovative spirit of the time, combining form and function with a focus on materials and craftsmanship. In 1956, Radice designed a series of chairs that exemplify his style, characterized by clean lines, organic shapes, and a blend of traditional and modern aesthetics. These chairs often featured elegant wooden frames, plush upholstery, and ergonomic designs, making them not only visually appealing but also comfortable. Radice's designs showcased the influence of Italian design movements, such as the Bauhaus and later the more experimental trends of the post-war era. His work remains celebrated for its timeless quality and the ability to merge artistic flair with everyday utility. These pieces are constructed from black ebonized beech plywood and feature a striking organic form. The legs are gently tapered at the bottom, enhancing their elegant and refined appearance. These slim yet robust chairs have a gracefully curved back and plush upholstery for optimal comfort. Set of 2 available, in excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of age and use.
