Attributed to PAOLO BUFFA, 1903-1970, ITALIAN, A FINE SET OF SIX MAHOGANY LADDER BACK CHAIRS, c.1950, on slender tapering legs, 104 x 39.5cm On graduating from college the Milanese designer Paolo Buffa began working in the studio of architect and designer Gio Ponti. At the beginning of his career his designs were influenced by neoclassicism but towards the end of the 1920s he began to bring more exotic forms to his designs. A cabinet maker by trade, his extraordinary level of craftsmanship is what makes Buffa's designs stand apart from his contemporaries and this set of elegant dining chairs clearly demonstrate this.
