Set of six model 783 “Kentucky” dining chairs designed by Carlo Scarpa for Bernini in 1977, part of his Scuderia series and among his last works for the manufacturer before his death in 1978. Turned beech frames with canvas seat and back panels suspended by tensioned elastic belts. Inspired by saddlery and Shaker furniture, the design features a backwards-tilted seat that allows a gentle rocking motion while maintaining balance. This set includes additional cushions for enhanced comfort.
