About the Item

Sculptural Design with Bold Lines and Postmodern Appeal This pair of Italian lounge chairs from the 1970s is a compelling expression of vintage modernism, showcasing a sculptural wooden structure and a bold, minimalist aesthetic typical of the era. The chairs feature a rigid high backrest with strong geometric lines and a solid wood frame that defines the silhouette with clarity and architectural precision. Original Upholstery with Integrated Headrest and Arm Cushions Each chair includes a single upholstered cushion that runs from the seat up to the headrest, creating a continuous, enveloping form that enhances comfort and coherence of design. The cushion is secured to the backrest via a discreet velcro strap, allowing for easy removal and reattachment. The armrests are also upholstered in the same vintage striped fabric and are firmly attached to the sides of the wooden frame. The original fabric-a rich brown striped textile-is still in good vintage condition, with only minimal signs of wear consistent with age, preserving the authenticity and charm of the piece. These chairs are ideal for interiors with a vintage or postmodern aesthetic, whether used in a living room, reading nook, or design-focused lounge.

Italian Modern Upholstered Armchairs with Tapered Feet, Italy, circa 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
The Mid-Century Modern era is notable for its blending of Classic modern design elements with a slightly more updated feel. This beautiful pair of Italia lounge chairs has a Classic, comfortable style that is a prime example of the best qualities of what is referred to as Modernism in European design. Several key factors define the Italian approach to design: respect for craftsmanship, quality materials and finally, an elegant, high-end look. Upholstered cabinetmaker chairs may seem similar at first sight; however, each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In these chairs’ case, their thick, welcoming shape and the sleek, tapered wooden feet Stand out immediately. The design has achieved a perfect balance between form and function, in which aesthetics and utility come together in a purely Mid-Century Modern manner. The fully upholstered wooden frames rest on dark lacquered wood legs. The feet are splayed to support stability, while their stylish dark colour contrast to the elegant, light upholstery. The backs are relatively low, enhancing the stylish look along with the thick arms, backs, and seat cushions. Together these design elements create a modern look with the beloved organic, curvy aesthetic. The exceptionally soft, textured fabric highlights the bodies’ rounded edges and sheer volume. Italy was especially passionate about furniture and product design during the mid-century, an area where the country remained faithful to a figurative repertoire of substantial classicism, while not disdaining impulses of authentic modernity. As a result, Italian modern furniture...
