Pair of “Karina” Chairs by J. Mancini & G. Fois-Dorell for Sawaya & Moroni, 1990s
A striking pair of sculptural “Karina” chairs designed by J. Mancini and Gaby Fois-Dorell and produced by Sawaya & Moroni in Milan in the late 1990s.
The distinctive fan-shaped backrest and tapered legs create a refined, architectural silhouette, typical of the bold, postmodern Italian design language of the period.
Finished in a deep indigo blue lacquer, these chairs offer a strong visual presence and function as both seating and standalone sculptural objects within an interior.
Condition: Good vintage condition. Minor surface wear may be present, consistent with age and careful use. Structurally stable and visually impressive.
