Guido Faleschini Leather Management Desk Chairs for i4 Mariani, c. 1980, Signed

Price:$3,900

About the Item

These elegant and no longer produced (making them great for collectors) Guido Faleschini swivel desk chairs by luxury Italian maker i4 Mariani were retailed in the 1980s by Pace and feature very-comfortable double cushioned seats and backs which retain the original high quality and supple caramel / cognac leather upholstery. Signed with Mariani labels and repeat fabric underneath. *Note, two (2) chairs are available at the time of this listing, each priced individually. The design of this chair was originally called 'Big / Superbig' as two sizes were made, later Mariani stopped production on the smaller sized version (this version) and the name just became 'Big'. Made popular via its feature in the hit Michael Douglas movie "Wall Street" in 1987, these chairs were located in his highrise executive office and can be seen throughout the movie (photo included in this listing). Given these are no longer produced, they are attractive for collectors of 20th Century art and design and also perfect for interior designers looking for something special for their favorite client. The cushioned seats sits atop five star chrome bases on moveable casters for ease of relocation. Two sweeping thick tubular chrome arms on each chair have comfortable padded arms on top. The leather covered backs are accented with chrome hardware. Underneath the chair is a telescoping mechanism to raise/lower the seat height on the chair. Very high quality of materials in these stylish management task chairs, but the true selling point is comfort. The double-cushioned seat and seat back, combined with the thick padded arms make this a dream for those who demand ultimate comfort and ergonomics in their work chair. These chairs are not for those who need a wider space to sit. But for those with average to smaller frames, this chair makes you feel like it was perfectly made for your body. I am 5'10" and 165 Lbs and this chair fits me perfectly. A girl in our studio who is 5'6" and 125 Lbs says its the most comfortable chair she's sat in. If you have an average to smaller frame, you will appreciate this because the arms will be perfectly positioned under your elbows, which increases comfort and ergonomics, and your ability to sit for long hours focused on your work. If you need a wide desk chair - see our other 'Big' chairs of the same design which are of a much larger size. Mariani made two sizes of this chair and this is the smaller of the two. This 'Big' executive desk chair by Guido Faleschini for i4 Mariani would compliment various locations such as a living room, den, games room or office space. It would also be perfect in a hospitality or corporate location, such as; a boutique hotel lobby reception desk, cocktail bar, members club, workspace studio, or executive office. Perfect fit for Mid-Century Modern homes or offices, but also a great fit for Postmodern and Contemporary spaces. Also consider as a splash of juxtaposition in a Classical, Traditional, Transitional, or Mixed Vintage styled room.
