Rare and striking pair of lounge armchairs from the celebrated “Woodline” series by Marco Zanuso, showcasing the designer’s mastery of sculptural form and ergonomic comfort. Each chair is characterized by its bold, continuous bentwood-like structure (here in black lacquered finish), defining the arms and legs in a single flowing gesture, paired with generous leather cushions that emphasize a relaxed, modern posture. The design balances strong architectural presence with softness and comfort, a hallmark of Zanuso’s approach to domestic modernism. These armchairs also reflect the innovative spirit of Arflex, a historic pioneer in Italian furniture manufacturing. Ref.
