The Chiavari Chair is still as popular today as it was in 1807, even Gucci has started to re style them. Now thats a testament to their simplicity, form and style.
Their popularity really took off as a functional chair during the 20th century and used for more formal events by royalty and used at JFKs wedding in 1953.
Naturally the Chiavari Chairs that is being produced by Gucci are bespoke and hand made in Italy.
The Chiavari chair is crafted from wood with a lacquered peacock blue finish. The plush velvet upholstery is embroidered with wreaths of flowers and a tiger head. The embroidery is created using a needlepoint technique—tracing its roots back thousands of years, it was predominant in the 17th century, an era that has influenced the House’s aesthetic. The intricate motifs are embroidered and then hand-applied, a process that takes approximately 10 hours to complete. Brass nail heads detail the edges of the cushion.
