Pair of Upholstered Italian Armchairs with Tufted Buttons, Italy 1950s

Italian furniture from the mid-century era is defined by an elegant design aesthetic, perfect execution, and exclusivity. This pair of lounge chairs has a design language that is coherent with current times, yet it is also congenial to the wisdom of furniture manufacturing, representing an outpost of strong innovation in the panorama of Italian craftsmanship.

The design language of this pair is entirely dedicated to the modern style of the 1950s. Much like in Scandinavia, the mid-century era in Italy gave form to furniture pieces defined by quality, functionality, and reliability. The organically shaped seats give this model a sculptural and striking appearance. The pair’s sleek lines and a stylish selection of materials immediately stand out. The richly textured fabric adds plenty of depth, while it also brings out the versatility of the shape even further. The fabric complements the solid wood legs as well. The tapered style enhances the shapes and forms of the chairs’ bodies, proving the designer’s great sense of proportions. Italian mid-century designers were especially passionate about furniture and product design, an area where many of them remained faithful to a figurative repertoire of substantial classicism, while not disdaining impulses of authentic modernity.

Italian interior designers were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe. The appreciation for their contribution is still growing today making outstanding Italian pieces like these armchairs highly sought after.
