The “Palmaria” model is a signature piece of Italian design from the 1970s and 1980s that combines functionality, exceptional comfort, and a clean aesthetic.

The armchair’s striking yet soft lines are defined by its oversized, cushion-like seat and backrest elements. The upholstery, made of thick, high-quality natural leather, has developed a beautiful patina over the decades, further emphasizing its authentic vintage character. The leather, in a warm caramel shade, and the sculptural form are equally reminiscent of the finest traditions of Italian furniture design from that era.

One of the Palmaria armchair’s most important features is its exceptional comfort. The deep seat, soft upholstery, and wide armrests provide an extraordinary seating experience, making it not only a striking design piece but also a true premium piece of furniture designed for everyday use.

The authenticity of the armchair is confirmed by the Cassina factory label, making the model particularly sought-after on the international design market. Vico Magistretti’s work is now considered a defining chapter in 20th-century Italian design; his creations can be found in numerous museum and private collections worldwide.

This exceptional piece is the perfect choice for interiors in the Mid-Century Modern, Italian Modernism, or contemporary styles, where it can serve both as a statement designer piece and as a comfortable lounge chair.
