Rare GALA CHAIR by FRANCO ALBINI 1951 , Vittorio Bonacina

The Gala chair has been in my family since 1953, has been restaured in 2004 by the manufacturer Vittorio Bonacina in Lurago d'Erba in Italy.
Malacca structure bent by hand with fire. Hand-woven with Indian Rattan Cane previously softened in water and folded by hand. Binding in flat oval Rattan Skin.
The Gala chair is reclinable and has two sitting positions as you can see in the pictures.
It is in excellent conditions although it  has just a few small marks on the seat.
