A slender tubular steel structure establishes the geometry, while the black leather seat and backrest are integrated with almost no visual interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is very little material here, and that restraint is precisely what gives the chair its presence. The chrome frame appears almost like a continuous line drawn around the body, while the dark leather creates two simple planes within it. Structure and seating remain visually separate but perfectly balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike much of the softer Scandinavian furniture of the preceding decades, the Alias Chair belongs to a more architectural generation of European design. Its character comes from precision, repetition and industrial materials rather than sculptural mass or decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a set of four, the chairs become particularly effective. Repeated chrome lines create a graphic rhythm around a table, while their open construction keeps the composition remarkably light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiandomenico Belotti (1922–2004) was an Italian architect and designer whose work crossed architecture, urban planning, restoration, research and industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEducated in architecture in Venice, Belotti approached furniture with an architect's interest in structure, proportion and economy of means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis collaboration with Alias began in 1979 and produced the chair that became closely associated with both his name and the emerging identity of the company. Its radical simplicity reflected a broader shift in Italian furniture toward increasingly lightweight, technically precise and industrial forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelotti's work for Alias remains a particularly clear example of how minimal construction can create a strong and enduring visual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlias was founded in Italy in 1979 and quickly established itself through an experimental approach to materials, technology and lightweight furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than relying on traditional furniture typologies, the company developed a language closely connected to architecture and industrial production. Steel, aluminium and other technically demanding materials became central to an aesthetic defined by precision and structural clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiandomenico Belotti's early collaboration with Alias helped establish this identity. His stripped-back seating designs became closely connected with the company's philosophy and remain among the most recognisable expressions of its minimalist approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll four chairs remain in excellent original vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chromed tubular steel structures are beautifully preserved, retaining their reflective finish with only light traces of age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original black leather seats and backrests are equally well preserved and have developed a subtle natural patina consistent with their vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the set presents exceptionally well while retaining its original materials and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth · 48 cm \/ 18.9 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth · 45 cm \/ 17.7 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight · 81 cm \/ 31.9 in\u003cbr\u003eSeat height · 44 cm \/ 17.3 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set of four Alias Dining Chairs is accompanied by a Back to the Furniture Certificate of Originality, a Back to the Furniture flyer, a Thank You card and a small gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is ready to ship within 10 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping is available.
