The frame is low, shaped with a continuous, sweeping gesture that defines both arm and back. There is a lightness to its silhouette, an ease that allows the chair to sit comfortably within a room without dominating it, while still holding a clear point of view.

Reupholstered in a seafoam green bouclé blend, the surface introduces texture and depth. The fabric catches light gently, giving the chairs a quiet tactility that contrasts with the precision of their underlying structure. The color, soft and atmospheric, lends a sense of calm while subtly recalling mid-century Italian palettes.

Set on slender brass legs, the chairs lift slightly from the floor, creating a sense of suspension. The metal adds a note of clarity, refined, warm, and understated, balancing the softness above with a more defined base.

Placed as a pair or apart, the chair shapes a room through conversation, between material and line, softness and structure. Pieces that invite use, while quietly articulating mid-century Italian design.

Sold and priced individually.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. This chair has been professionally reupholstered by our in-house team of restorationists in a seafoam green textured bouclé, with new foam, Dacron, and webbing. The brass legs retain a rich patina. See less
