Italian Art Deco Walnut Stool in the Manner of Osvaldo Borsani, 1940s - 2 Available
Crafted in walnut veneer, an Italian Art Deco stool from the 1940s created in the manner of Osvaldo Borsani.
The stool’s silhouette is defined by a gentle architectural curve. The two solid supports rise seamlessly into a subtly bowed seat, creating a continuous gesture that feels both deliberate and effortless.
The seat is enriched with hand-painted floral motifs, a decorative intervention that softens the rigor of the form. Faded gently with time, the painted surface introduces a layer of individuality and craftsmanship. The contrast between the warm walnut grain and the delicate painted details lends the piece a sense of character. The curved seat catches light differently throughout the day, while the flowing lines create a visual rhythm that feels distinctly Italian.
Sold and priced individually.
Osvaldo Borsani (1911–1985) was an Italian designer and architect born into a family of fine furniture makers. He studied fine arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan before pursuing architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. In 1943, he designed his own house in Varedo, Villa Borsani, which has since been preserved and now serves as an archive of his work.
