Descalzi set out to create a lightweight, functional, yet elegant chair, he truly succeeded. His creation, an armless chair with simple lines, and sturdy construction has changed very little over the years. Over 200 years later chiavari chairs have become one of the world’s most popular choices in seating for special events replacing the more traditional chair cover. Chiavari chairs have been used in many events ranging from weddings, to high profile events such as the Grammy’s, as well as on television shows.
