Pair of modular sculptural chairs Guido Coletti (2010) – Hand painted collage

Discover a surprising fusion of art and design with this pair of sculptural modular chairs. by the Italian artist Guido Coletti , made in 2010.

Bold and expressive, these chairs feature vibrant hand-painted surfaces and graphic collage details that transform functional seating into dynamic works of art.

When placed side by side, their angular backrests align to form an abstract and whimsical heart-shaped bench: a playful statement that immediately captures attention in any contemporary interior. The silhouette and colorful imagery of each chair reflect Coletti’s signature neo-Dada aesthetic, making this set a conversation-starting centerpiece.

The artistic vision behind these chairs comes from the background of Guido Colletti as a painter and sculptor, known for his ability to blend collage elements, bright colors and three-dimensional shapes.

Each chair is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted composition: built on a solid metal frame and sculpted with plastic and resin panels, each surface is decorated with energetic layers of vibrant colors, molded shapes, and found imagery graphics. The result is a truly unique design object: a pair of chairs that look like playful abstract sculptures. Vibrant brush strokes and collage elements create depth and texture, echoing Coletti's innovative “combine-art” style.

This artistic approach ensures that no two panels are the same, giving each seat an individual expression while maintaining a cohesive and appealing aesthetic for the entire pair.

In terms of functionality and versatility, these modular chairs shine as much for their flexibility as for their looks. They work wonderfully as two independent armchairs, each with a bold sculptural form in its own right.

Placed together, they fit seamlessly into a single functional bench, their heart shapes interlocking to create an intimate seating configuration.

This ingenious modular design makes them perfect for a wide range of environments: from a gallery or design showroom, where they can be displayed as a single art installation, to a living space seeking a cutting-edge focal point. As well as being seats, they are also collectible art objects, ideal for any design enthusiast or collector who appreciates original, hand-crafted pieces.
