About the Item

Side chair or lounge chair, fabric, lacquered steel, brass, Italy, 1950s This chair presents a clear example of mid-century modern design from the 1950s. Its shape is defined by a balance between geometric clarity and sculptural lightness. The seat and backrest are formed as simple, bold volumes: a wide, rectangular cushion base and a tall, slightly tapered back that rises vertically without ornament. The backrest narrows gently toward the top. Both elements are upholstered in a vivid red patterned upholstery with dark brown threads. In contrast to these solid, upholstered surfaces, the base is open, airy, and linear. The structure is made of black lacquered steel rods, intersecting in crisscross patterns. The legs are slender and extend downward with small brass details at the joints and feet, introducing warmth and a refined accent to the otherwise strict geometry of the frame.

Zanuso Marco Style Italian Armchair with Red Velvet
By Marco Zanuso
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest that you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Very comfortable and elegant upholstered armchair; the frame is very solid with sturdy legs made of polished and brushed brass; the seat is deliberately low but large and comfortable; the wide overall appearance has soft and pleasing lines, perfect for conveying a feeling of comfort and well-being. The armchair was made between 1960 and 1963 by an artisan workshop in Meda (Milan, Italy) that collaborated with several Lombard architects; for the creation of the armchair, the artisans were inspired by architect Marco Zanuso, following his design.

His countless creations include the Lady armchair, and the Antropus armchair...
