The "Margherita chair" by Franco Albini is one of the most notable pieces of furniture created by the Lombard architect and designer Franco Albini in the 1950s. He partnered with Franca Helg for various projects in years. Albini’s inspiration in creating the chair is to suspend things and people in the air. Since it is a wooden, rattan and reed chair, a garden is the perfect setting for it. Just after a year of its creation, Margherita chair won first place at the 9th Milan Triennale. Moreover, MoMA in New York City, the Museum of Art in Philadelphia, and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan showcased this beautiful and stunning wooden chair.

The name ‘Margherita’ is an Italian word meaning “daisy.” Moreover, the rattan and reed structure will give anyone who sits on it the confidence. It helps abandon every thought to the suspension of a dream or a break from reality. Franco Albini designed this wooden chair for Vittorio Bonacina.

Albini’s furniture mostly features a traditional Italian craftsmanship practice with minimal concepts of design. He is famous for using artisanal materials such as woven cane for most seminal works, such as the Margherita and Gala chairs. Moreover, he used a modern aesthetic to the design and construction of his products, which is evident especially to the Margherita chair. With the combination of Albini’s pure talent and training under the apprenticeship of famed Italian furniture designer Gio Ponti, Albini slowly grew as an artist. He carefully developed objects and other designs with usability and style.

This fun and aesthetically appealing design is perfect for a modern, bohemian, eclectic, or folk style home.

The matching Franco Albini coffee table is an original 1950s modern rattan coffee table with the original glass top. (Can be used as a footrest / ottoman with a custom made cushion) This table/ ottoman piece has iconic Albini lines, and the unique design offers storage for magazines or books. Table alone is priced elsewhere for $1200-$2600. Sold here with the chair, as a set.
