Price on request

A rare pair of Italian armchairs from the 1950s, embodying post-war design with high backs, gently contoured armrests, and tapered wooden legs. Attributed to the aesthetic of Gio Ponti and fully restored in a tactile terracotta-brown textured fabric.

Exemplifying the sophisticated spirit of post-war Italian design, this rare pair of 1950s armchairs captures the iconic aesthetic associated with the circle of Gio Ponti. Characterised by a distinctive high backrest, softly flared armrests, and compact proportions balanced upon elegant tapered legs, these seating pieces offer both striking sculptural presence and refined comfort. The pair has undergone a meticulous, comprehensive restoration process. The internal frames have been thoroughly inspected and secured, old cushioning entirely replaced with fresh foam to restore optimal support, and the chairs expertly re-upholstered in a rich, tactile terracotta-brown textured fabric that beautifully accentuates their mid-century silhouette. Offered as a matching pair, priced individually, these versatile armchairs make a sophisticated focal point in a mid-century modern living room, executive study, or curated contemporary interior.
