During the 1950s, Augusto Bozzi and Sergio Saporiti, Saporiti’s founder, worked alongside designers Alberto Rosselli and Giorgio Raimondi to create design objects and furniture with streamlined designs and innovative materials.

Augusto Bozzi’s commercial success is, in great part, the result of his partnership with Sergio Saporiti.
This strong partnership resulted in designs that combine innovation, discreet simplicity, and lightness.

Bozzi’s chair and sofa designs methodically adopt an approach in which thin metal structures are used as support for molded and upholstered seats for chairs, armchairs, and sofas.

This set of 2 pieces is original from the 1950s, in those days there was no brandmark on the chairs.
The lacquered wood shows some signs of usage as to be seen on these pictures, though they are in good condition consistent with age and use. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
