Product Information
Description
The Violin Chair by GamFratesi is, by all means, a very Scandinavian design. It seeks to distill with the fewest number of ingredients possible the archetypal chair silhouette, without losing the sense of poetry and flair for which the designers are best known.A wonderfully pure and light design, it also reveals the complexity involved in simplicity. The name references the two parallel lines that that extend from the backrest to a horizontal bar below the seat, evoking two parallel strings on a violin, or even a tuning fork. This simple gesture creates a half backrest which allows the sitter to easily twist around to chat with the person next to you, all while remaining comfortable long after dessert and coffee are served.
Further details such as the gentle curves at either side of those elegant parallel bars imbue the chair with a distinctive sense of character. Taken together it is a modern dining chair with an old soul, perfect for use in traditional and contemporary homes alike.

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Designer Profile
GamFratesi
Partners in both work and life, Stine and Enrico Gamfratesi create modern designs with old souls. Though they hail from different countries respectively, we like to think that the blend of Scandinavian simplicity and Italian flair lends a sense of story, helping to establish the nostalgic design language for which they are best known. Today, their most famous collections include items like the Beetle Dining Chair and Epic Coffee Tables for Gubi.
