Pair of Italian Armchairs in Black and Yellow Velvet (Attr.), 1950
Height: 98 cm Width: 77 cm Depth: 80 cm Seat Height: 44 cm
Large armchairs attributed to the designer in 1950s. The pair of armchairs has been re-lined in elegant double velvet colour. The front of the armchair is in yellow while the back is in black. The peculiarity of the armchair is its double wooden shell. Its very voluminous backrest allows its ears to almost completely envelop its guest. Its armrests oriented upwards give elegance and a pleasant comfort. Its perfectly conical wooden feet reinforce and give style to the seat. The pair of armchairs are ideal for eccentric and modern environments but always with a midcentury style eye.
