Both chairs retain their original metal plates mounted on the frame, certifying their authenticity and serial numbering: piece no. 018/100 and piece no. 019/100. An icon of avant-garde Italian postmodernism (Alchimia/Memphis), this model stands out for its enveloping, high-backed structure and unique color-blocking composition in fine leather in black, green, blue, and red. The chairs are in overall good vintage condition with their original period patina; Armchair No. 018 features a pronounced pattern of cracks on the leather of one armrest, a result of an earlier attempt at cosmetic restoration. This detail attests to the history of the vintage material without altering the solidity and collectible appeal of the piece. This piece holds exceptional historical value for galleries, designer interiors, or private art and design collections. This piece has an attribution mark,
