Set of four chairs of the famous model "Sabrina", Italian icon of the seventies, designed by Gastone Rinaldi for the firm Rima. It is an ergonomic chair that follows the shape of the body, combining visual lightness with a modern and functional structure. Its tubular structure describes a fluid line that joins a single curved support. The seat, in metal mesh, adds an airy, industrial touch, while the padded cushions ensure comfort without sacrificing style. Its balanced design between minimalist and sophisticated makes it a versatile piece, adaptable to any space. The Sabrina chair is published in the famous Repertorio Del Design Italiano 1950-2000, the Italian reference for interior design and furniture.

Gastone Rinaldi became the owner of RIMA, the company specialized in the production of metal furniture, founded by his father in 1920. Rinaldi took the family business to another level, generating avant-garde designs that had relevant repercussions in the world of Italian and international design, becoming an emblem of the transition from artisan to industrial production in the 1950s. His way of working allowed him to surround himself with the best designers of the time, even collaborating with them, as was the case with Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi or Carlo De Carli, among many others.
