About the Item

Postmodern Italian Leather Chrome Cantilever Chair After Alvar Aalto Inspired by the iconic Tank Chair 400 by Finnish architect Hugo Alvar Aalto A striking Postmodern Italian chrome and leather armchair, inspired by the iconic Tank Chair 400 by Finnish architect Hugo Alvar Aalto, this piece effortlessly blends Art Deco elegance with mid-century modern flair. Crafted in Italy and likely imported to the UK in 2011, this 1:1 reinterpretation features sweeping cantilevered arms in polished chrome, echoing Aalto’s revolutionary 1936 design with a touch of postmodern drama. Upholstered in deep black leather with classic button tufting, the chair sits low and wide, offering generous comfort without compromising on style. The hollow yet reinforced chrome frame of this Postmodern Italian chrome and leather armchair ensures stability while keeping the weight manageable—ide, l for modern interiors that demand both form and function. Postmodern cantilever armchair While the manufacturer remains unknown, the craftsmanship is unmistakably high-quality, with reinforced iron supports inside the curved arms and stitching that points to a production era between the 1980s and early 2000s. A label on the underside shows compliance with 1988 Upholstery Regulations, dated August 2011—likely marking the date of UK import. Perfect as a standalone statement piece or paired with bold minimalist interiors, this chair adds sculptural presence to any room. It’s a sleek nod to one of the 20th century’s most celebrated design minds—without the museum price tag. Dimensions: Height: 83 cm Width: 83 cm Depth: 93 cm Seat Height: 47 cm Postmodern Italian chrome and leather armchair Condition: In excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age.
