Set of six chairs, model "Swan" – Manuel Vidal Grau (1934-2016) – 1980s

Descriptio A set of six “Swan” model chairs, designed by Manuel Vidal Grau (Valencia, circa 1934-2016) during the 1980s, crafted from brass, mahogany, and dyed leather. Conceived with a distinctly sculptural character, they feature armrests that culminate in swan heads, while the polished brass frame and legs contrast with the mahogany backs. Manuel Vidal Grau was a prominent Valencian designer and businessman whose professional and creative career left a significant mark on the contemporary furniture sector in Spain and international markets. He enjoyed a successful business career spanning several decades, establishing himself as a leading figure in the design and manufacture of luxury furniture of his time. His involvement in the furniture industry began in 1953 at the Valencian company SOYMA, where he gained experience in the manufacture of metal furniture components. In 1963, the company relocated to Benimámet under the trade name Hierros Artísticos Vidal. Later, in 1974, after moving to new and spacious facilities in Bétera, he founded Muebles Vidal Grau, which quickly gained international recognition for the quality and design of its products. The company specialized in contemporary furniture design for both homes and select spaces, combining traditional materials with innovative solutions that incorporated molded plastics and synthetic elements treated with technical precision. Dimensions: 85 × 52 × 56 cm per chair.
