Antoni de Moragas

ANTONI DE MORAGAS (Barcelona, 1941).
Chair, 1950s.
Marbled backrest and green seat. Metal frame.
A very limited-production piece and exceptionally hard to find, as it is a variant of one of the designer’s most iconic models, reflecting the peak of innovation in postwar Spanish design.
Measurements: 88 x 45 x 43 cm; 43 cm (seat height).

The metal frame, with its continuous lines, wraps around the backrest and creates a composition of great visual lightness, while the backrest, upholstered in marbled fabric, complements the seat in a deep shade of green, resulting in a color combination of striking personality and sophistication. This interplay of textures and colors adds a more expressive dimension to the design without altering the formal balance characteristic of Moragas’s work.

The structural solution, seemingly simple, reveals a deep study of proportions and a remarkable sensitivity to form, elegantly synthesizing the principles of European Modernism adapted to the Spanish context.

A particularly exclusive piece within Antonio de Moragas’s body of work, whose rarity on the market makes it an excellent opportunity for collectors and interiors where historic design takes center stage.
