A beautifully designed Italian Mid-Century Modern wrought-iron bistro set, dating from the 1970s and showcasing an exceptional mix of sculptural geometry and hand-formed metalwork. The set includes a round café table and two folding chairs, each featuring a distinctive globe-form backrest over a radial sunburst seat, unified by elegant scroll accents and artisan-forged ironwork.
The folding chairs are a classic element of Italian garden furniture from this era—lightweight, practical, and refined—while the table’s intricate lattice top radiates from a central rosette, creating a dynamic visual pattern from every angle. Finished in a soft white enamel, the set is ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments, including conservatories, balconies, patios, breakfast nooks, and boutique commercial spaces.
This design is emblematic of the Italian café aesthetic that flourished in the mid-century period, drawing from both Neoclassical and Art Nouveau influences but executed with the clean, airy geometry associated with postwar European modernism.
A rare, highly decorative example of European wrought-iron craftsmanship.
