The Chiavarina was created in 1807 by a carpenter from Chiavari, Italy. Giuseppe
Gaetano Descalzi reformulated some of the French Empire style chairs by
simplifying the decorative elements and by emphasizing the structural features. The
chair was such a success that soon after many factories opened in Chiavari and
neighbouring towns. The Chiavarina became a world icon and it is still used today in
noble and important events. Bessa has redesigned this piece, adding back the
French decorative elements in a hand-carved handle. The chair gains a new, more
contemporary look, while preserving its roots.
