Item Description
A refined and highly functional set of eight “Modus” conference chairs designed by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Milan. An enduring example of Italian modernist design, the Modus model combines architectural precision with ergonomic intelligence, making it one of the most versatile and elegant office seating solutions of its era. Each chair features a swiveling base with height adjustment, offering practical flexibility while maintaining a streamlined, sculptural silhouette. The black molded seat shells are paired with black fabric upholstery on both seat and back, presenting a cohesive and sophisticated monochrome aesthetic. This set remains in excellent vintage condition. The upholstery is clean and well-preserved, and the mechanisms function smoothly, reflecting the quality of Tecno’s engineering and materials.
