Tearsheet
Giovanni Michelucci for Poltronova, set of five 'Torbecchia' dining chairs, walnut, rush, Italy, circa 1964.

This dining set was designed by the Italian architect and designer Giovanni Michelucci (1891–1990) as part of the Torbecchia series. The chairs are masterfully crafted from solid walnut, their open-frame construction highlighting the rich natural colour and expressive grain of the wood.

Devoid of superfluous ornament, the design achieves its visual appeal through balanced proportions, structural clarity, and exceptional craftsmanship. The restrained aesthetic reflects Michelucci's commitment to honest materials and functional elegance, while the robust construction ensures lasting durability. Each chair is marked with the designer's signature.
