Characterized by a striking, enveloping organic profile and sinuous flared armrests that blend into the wing backrest. Dimensions: 91 x 96 cm, height 89 cm, seat height 43 cm. The armchairs do not have a paper label; however, during the complete reupholstery, a thorough inspection of the curved and shaped internal wood structure, reinforcements, and joints revealed the precise construction technique used by Minotti in the 1960s for Gigi Radice's designs. The solid wood frame is padded and completely reupholstered with a refined blue melange fabric; Dark metal tapered legs embellished with elegant antique brass ball-and-socket feet. Excellent overall condition thanks to the new upholstery and refinished padding. The metal legs and brass tips retain a beautiful, authentic patina.
