Description from the seller

Space Age Leather Armchair in Cognac Color, Italy, 1960s/70s

Description:

Refined Italian Space Age armchair from the 1970s, crafted in natural cognac-colored leather with an exposed chrome-plated metal structure.
A true masterpiece of Italian mid-century design, characterized by generous lines, organic forms, and enveloping comfort, recalling the iconic style of designers such as Giovanni Offredi, Saporiti Italia, and Busnelli.

The soft and abundant padding creates a sculptural effect, while the chrome details and tone-on-tone leather-covered buttons enhance its elegance and visual coherence.
An authentic example of Space Age design, combining advanced construction techniques with the artisanal luxury typical of the finest Italian production of the period.

This armchair, in excellent condition, is entirely upholstered in cognac-colored leather, beautifully preserved and enriched by a pleasing vintage patina.
The padding is full and structurally sound; the chrome finish is bright and well maintained. Ready to be placed in any modern interior, gallery, or private collection of 20th-century design.
