this piece is an emblematic example of the elegance and formal research that characterized the bergamo-based brand's production in the postwar period, when isa established itself as one of the most innovative names in italian design.
the high backrest with soft, enveloping lines gives the seat a sculptural and dynamic character, while the rounded armrests and midnight blue velvet upholstery accentuate the sense of comfort and refinement.
the hand-stitched brass nail trim emphasizes the armchair's sinuous profile, enriching it with a precious decorative detail that perfectly complements the tapered gold-plated aluminum feet, typical of isa's production during that decade.
during the same period, isa bergamo collaborated with some of the most important names in italian design, such as gio ponti, ignazio gardella, paolo buffa, and nino zoncada, creating creations that combined functionality, high-quality craftsmanship, and a modern, international aesthetic.
this piece by cesare lacca fits perfectly into that climate of innovation, representing a refined synthesis of organic lines, quality materials, and absolute comfort.
today, this armchair is not only a seat of great aesthetic appeal, but also a historical testament to the creative fervor that animated italian design in the 1950s, destined to enhance contemporary spaces or museum collections.
