About the Item

A sculptural nod to postmodern design, this pair of fully upholstered armchairs features strong architectural lines softened by an inviting aqua textile. With a commanding silhouette and avant-garde attitude, the chairs suggest influences from Italian design of the 1980s as well as contemporary studio aesthetics. Their wraparound upholstery gives them a monochromatic visual that emphasizes form. The angular arm flares, rectilinear legs, and sharply angled backs strike a delicate balance between whimsical and structured, artful and practical. Textile texture and tone are central to the design. The subtly dotted or gridded surface of the upholstery gives depth without overt patterning, offering a refined touch that photographs beautifully but is even better in person. This pair remains in stable structural condition with expected surface wear along the lower fabric near feet and some creasing to the arm upholstery—typical for vintage use and part of their visual story. Whether styled as accent pieces in a curated salon-style living room or added to a gallery dining table, these chairs command space without overwhelming it. Their rare combination of soft color and bold geometry sets them apart Highly collectible and design-forward, this pair exemplifies expressive modern craftsmanship ready for reupholstery.
