About the Item

The 1950s saw brilliant Italian designers working to create furniture of the highest quality that explored truly modern shapes and innovative techniques. Designers experimented with new materials and construction methods but, crucially, they kept the elegance inherent in Italian design. This sculptural wingback lounge chair is a prime example of form’s marriage to function. With a clear preoccupation with geometry, this chair’s outstanding architectural frame speaks of the mastery of the designer and of the producer. Still, all the decorative elements are in service of functionality, including the “wings”, the appealing angles of the seat, and the thick seat and back cushions. Furthermore, the back’s inclination is adjustable in three stages, making this model a perfect chair for the ultimate lounging experience. The clearly lined wood frame contrasts beautifully with the upholstery. The padded velvet fabric highlights the shapes and angles, such as the pointed “wings” at the top that add a lot of character. The dark stained wooden frame’s most dominant feature are the ‘V’ shaped legs joined with visible screws. The refined linearity defines the overall aesthetic, with crisp and elegant lines. On the decoration front, the chair isn’t in need of much thanks to the brilliance of the design itself, therefore the sole decorative element remains the design itself. The design was created in the golden days of Italian mid-century modernism, when Italian design giants like Gio Ponti and Paolo Buffa worked as well. With an outstanding design, quality materials and Italian design elements, this lounge chair is sure to provide comfort and style in any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition.
