Description
Paolo Buffa rare and exquisite olive green velvet lounge chair or wingback chair with Italian walnut legs, Italy, 1950s. This sophisticated modernist wingback design showcases Buffa's masterful balance of sculptural elegance and refined craftsmanship. The beautifully curved wingback embraces an elegantly button-tufted backrest, flowing seamlessly into rounded armrests above a generously proportioned seat, all supported by gracefully tapered, splayed Italian walnut legs.
Beautifully proportioned and distinguished by its soft, organic lines, the chair exemplifies the understated sophistication of mid-century Italian design. The rich olive green velvet upholstery accentuates its sculptural silhouette, allowing the graceful contours to become the focal point while lending warmth and depth to both traditional and contemporary interiors. An outstanding and highly collectible example of Paolo Buffa's work, this exceptionally chic armchair embodies the timeless beauty, impeccable craftsmanship, and enduring sophistication that define the finest Italian furniture of the mid-twentieth century.
Recently fully restored and newly upholstered in luxurious Dedar Adamo & Eva Olive cotton velvet with new foam and down cushion for enhanced comfort.
Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Paolo Buffa Archives. -
