"Basket Model Chairs By Gian Franco Legler, Circa 1955"

Set of four Basket chairs featuring a black lacquered tubular metal base, supporting a hand-woven wicker frame.

The 29-year-old Italo-Swiss designer Gian Franco Legler designed the Basket Chair for The Basket restaurant in Italy in 1951. Legler enlisted local weavers and metalworkers to craft the first 52 chairs.

The Basket Chair quickly became a success, not only in Italy and Switzerland but also in Germany and the United States. In 1953, Gian Franco Legler received the Good Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York for the Basket Chair.
