When Gaetano Descalzi died in 1855, about 600 workers were making Chiavari chairs.[3] The chair was praised by Charles Albert of Savoy, Napoleon III,[4] and by the sculptor Antonio Canova.[5] The success of the Chiavarina declined following the introduction of the Austrian chairs of Michael Thonet which were mass-produced, less expensive, and consisting of few elements easily assembled, and in the second half of the twentieth century, following competition from industrial production. The architect and designer Gio Ponti was inspired by the structural system of the Chiavari chair for his Superleggera chair of 1955.[6] Chiavari chairs continue to be made in Italy, where some shops still produce them using traditional methods and materials. They are in use globally where event planners and catering companies appreciate the elegant appearance and lightness of the chair, and its convenient stackability. The Chiavari chair is used in the State Dining Room and Family Dining Room in the White House in Washington, D.C.
