This sculptural Italian Modern armchair in the style of Marco Zanuso, produced in Europe during the 1970s, reflects the expressive modernist language and ergonomic sensibility associated with Italian design of the period. The chair features a bentwood frame with flowing curved armrests and legs, creating a continuous and architectural silhouette. The organic shaping and balanced proportions are characteristic of European modern furniture from the late 1960s and 1970s, closely aligned with the design vocabulary associated with Marco Zanuso.
