Description
An exceptional and rare pair of armchairs, the Model 118/f by renowned Italian designer Paolo Buffa. Crafted during the 1950s in Italy, these armchairs are not just pieces of furniture; they are masterpieces of design and craftsmanship, making them arguably the most beautiful models Buffa ever created.

These armchairs feature solid walnut frames that exude a warm and inviting charm. The choice of walnut wood as the primary material adds a touch of luxury and durability to the design. Complementing the sturdy walnut frames are fabric seats and backrests, offering both comfort and style.

What sets the Model 118/f armchairs apart is their remarkable blend of organic and structural design elements. The baton construction of the back and arms creates an airy, almost weightless appearance, juxtaposed against the solid walnut frame. This ingenious fusion of opposites results in a design that is both visually captivating and functionally sound.

Paolo Buffa's dedication to detail is evident in these armchairs. Delicate carved accents grace the armrests and legs, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into their creation. These intricate details not only enhance their aesthetic appeal but also make them a testament to the artistry of mid-century Italian design.

Restored to perfection, this pair of Model 118/f armchairs is in exceptional vintage condition. The professional refinishing process has revitalized their original allure, ensuring that they stand the test of time. Remarkably, the chairs retain their authentic fabric, preserving their historical authenticity.

A certificate from the historical archive of Paolo Buffa is available and will be provided to the buyer.
