The Chiavari Chair has proven to be one, if not the most popular chair for weddings and special events! Many assume it was simply created for weddings, but the rich history behind these chairs would surprise you. Originally created in 1807 by a cabinetmaker from Chiavari, Italy, the chair was re-structured, simplified, and lightened from an original French Empire chair.
The chairs became an instant success, and began immediately appearing in surrounding towns of Chiavari, and eventually were mass consumed by Napoleon, King Charles of Sardinia, and many more. Over time, the original version decreased due to other manufacturers in Austria, and another Italian architect, Gio Ponti creating an even simpler and lighter version. This happened over time, with the most recent version of the chair appearing in 1955.
Originally, the colors ranged in the natural woods from fruitwood to beech, however, today the colors are endless. They have been, and still are incredibly popular for event planners, who enjoy the elegant style for decor, and lighter feel for labor. Today, with all the color options, one can put together events of all themes, while maintaining sleek and elegance.
Now, please enjoy the DIVERSITY, and “fabulous-ness” of this party chair!
