A set of four dining chairs designed by Silvio Coppola and produced by Bernini, Italy, 1960s. The chair features a solid walnut frame with a continuous upholstered seat and backrest in black leather. The backrest is vertically integrated into the rear supports, forming a unified structural and visual element.
This model reflects Coppola’s approach to furniture design, characterized by simplified geometric forms and an emphasis on structural clarity. The use of solid wood construction combined with minimal upholstery aligns with Italian modernist production of the period.
Silvio Coppola (1920–1985) was an Italian architect and designer associated with postwar modernist and rationalist design. Trained at the Politecnico di Milano, he worked across architecture, furniture, and visual communication. Coppola collaborated with major Italian firms including Bernini, Cassina, and Alessi, and served as art director for several companies. His work is characterized by geometric clarity, functionalism, and integration of graphic and industrial design disciplines. His designs have been exhibited internationally, including in museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 
Bernini was an Italian furniture manufacturer active primarily in the mid-20th century, known for producing high-quality modernist designs in wood and mixed materials. The company collaborated with leading architects and designers including Silvio Coppola, Carlo Scarpa, and Angelo Mangiarotti. Bernini’s production emphasized craftsmanship, refined detailing, and the translation of architectural ideas into furniture form. Their work is associated with the broader development of Italian modern design during the postwar period.
