Set of 4 Adjustable Chairs by De Marco & Rebolini for Robots, Italy, 1970s

Designed by Guido De Marco and Roberto Rebolini for the Italian manufacturer Robots, these light metal chairs can be used in two positions: one normal and one more laid back, and they can also be folded all the way, for easy storage and transport. The frame is chrome-plated, and the seat and backrest are made of black metal mesh, covered in black paint so that they don't feel cold to the touch. The metal mesh is quite malleable and makes for a surprisingly comfortable sitting experience.

Something about the choice of materials, colours, proportions and overall design makes these chairs incredibly elegant and, though at first glance they look like garden chairs, there's nothing keeping them out of the office space or away from under the dining table, both places in which they'd bring an unmistakable sense of class.
