A dining table and six chairs by Guido Faleschini for Hermes, France, circa 1970
A superb dining room suite consisting of table and six chairs designed by Guido Faleschini for Hermes, France, circa 1970. Hermes barely needs any introduction: it is probably the most famous firm in the world known principally for its workmanship of leather goods of the highest quality. The French luxury goods manufacturer established in 1837 specializes in leather goods, lifestyle accessories, home furnishings, perfumery, jewellery, watches and ready-to-wear items. It has had a string of notable designers over the years, including household names like Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Guido Faleschini is a prominent Italian designer with an illustrious CV. He has restructured numerous Italian villas throughout his career, and designed the interior furnishings too. His achievements and prizes throughout his career have allowed him to tke on important projects like the restructuring of Villa Biraghi in the historical city of Monza in 1971. In the 1970s he starts a collaboration with Hermes, Paris and designs a range of home furnishings.
This was one of his more popular designs but this table in particular is in incredible condition for its age. Bought from a private villa in the south of France it has hardly been used on the last 50 years. The heavily smoked glass table top is almost black, contrasting beautifully with the chromed legs and the beige alcantara leather or suede trim. It is incredible that it is still in such fabulous condition after so long, so elegant, so modern, and above all so stylish; as you would expect from anything Hermes.
Condition: excellent
