About the Item

Iconic rocking armchair by Guido Faleschini from the 70s, all curves and elegance, simple and linear. The rocking armchair has a fully curved golden metal structure, armrests and legs are one with the chair; armrests which are connected together by crosspieces also in golden metal. The rocking armchair was upholstered with a very fine crushed gray velvet, from the Zoagli silk factories. Very comfortable, the chair welcomes the person who sits on it very well. Carefully studied and equally carefully and finely crafted, the rocking armchair has remained an icon of the mid-last century. Guido Faleschini graduated in Architecture at the Atheneaum de Lousanne in 1960. Professor of Architectural Composition at the Italian Section of the Atheneaum de Lousanne in the years 1970-1974.
