Rare chair with lacquered iron frame, brass, wood and skai upholstery. Model created for the Lutrario dance hall in Turin in 1959 The Lutrario, in its current location, began life as a cinema and owes its name to its owner Attilio Lutrario, an entrepreneur and dancer, who from June 1942 had started screenings with a single evening show, after having founded a dance hall, now disappeared, across the street in the 1920s. In 1950, Nicolay Diulgheroff, a futurist architect and painter who had already collaborated on the dancing's sets for numerous themed evenings, designed a new space comprising cinema and theatre with dance hall, which was inaugurated in June 1951: an innovative structure with a horseshoe-shaped gallery and stalls with a total capacity of over 1000 spectators. In 1959, the famous architect and designer Carlo Mollino (Turin, 1905-1973), together with his colleague Carlo Bordogna, designed the interior of the ballroom, which occupies the space below the stalls, with completely original details such as the tiled entrance, the wrought iron railing and all the furnishings, including tables chairs and stools, armchairs in iron brass and red skai, a synthetic material similar to leather. The ceiling of the room is decorated with a lighting spiral already used by Mollino for the interior of Casa Miller, while the lights are made of moulded plywood with coloured plastic lamps. The hall opened in November 1960, destined to host many successful singers and musical ensembles in those years, including internationally renowned ones. The dance hall, in the meantime called Le Roi, still continues its activity: some decorations and furnishings survive, as well as the original piano played by Fred Buscaglione.
