Description
Friulian artist Guido Coletti is acclaimed for his ability to blend neo-Dada and combine-art techniques in his sculptural works. This extraordinary pair of chairs, created in 1995, perfectly captures his creative language. Each seat is a unique hand-carved piece, decorated with expressive collages, bright colors and abstract compositions.

Designed to function individually or as a single sculptural piece, the two chairs form an abstract heart when placed next to each other: a bold and poetic gesture. The surfaces are full of energetic textures, vivid brush strokes and mixed elements, echoing Coletti’s approach to transforming everyday materials into emotional works of art.

These chairs are not only functional, but also collectible, bridging the worlds of design and contemporary art. With their whimsical heart-shaped silhouette and roots in Italian postmodern design culture, they fit perfectly into any luxury interior, gallery or design space.
