The Ballerina Chair by Herbert Ohl for Matteo Grassi, designed around 1991, is a sleek cantilevered chair combining industrial precision with Italian craftsmanship. It features a tubular steel frame and a saddle-stitched leather seat and back, often seen in black, tan, or vivid colors. True to its name, the chair’s light, balanced profile evokes a dancer’s poise while remaining structurally robust. It embodies the refined, architectural minimalism characteristic of Ohl’s work and Matteo Grassi’s 1990s aesthetic.
