About the Item

Italian mid-century "Original Arizona" lounge chair by Vavassori. Produced in Manzo, Italy in the 1970s. Original cognac leather upholstery. Two available, sold separately. The Arizona lounge chairs are part of a series of Italian leather lounge chairs and sofas designed and produced in Monza, Italy during the 1970s, generally attributed to the Italian maker Vavassori. These pieces exemplify the era’s preference for relaxed, low-slung seating with generous proportions and high-quality leather upholstery, characteristic of Italian modernist furniture of the period. Vavassori was an Italian furniture manufacturer active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, based in Monza, a center of postwar Italian furniture production. The firm specialized in upholstered seating, particularly lounge chairs and sofas characterized by generous proportions, low profiles, and high-quality leather upholstery. Vavassori’s work reflects broader trends in mid- to late-20th-century Italian design, emphasizing comfort, material richness, and informal living over formal modernist restraint. While the company and its designers were less frequently documented in major design histories, Vavassori’s furniture—often labeled simply with the maker’s name—has become recognized in the vintage market as representative of 1970s Italian leather seating, valued for craftsmanship, durability, and period authenticity.
