AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Contemporary Design: Mad Joker Armchair with Ottoman – Marcel Wanders design – Poliform Production (Condition: Like New)
We present at auction an extraordinary combination for the living area: the Mad Joker armchair complete with its coordinated footstool, designed by the renowned international name Marcel Wanders for Poliform. This lot stands out for an exclusive high-contrast bimaterial configuration that fuses the warmth and texture of the worked fabric with the rigorous elegance of leather.
Design and History: The Evolution of the Classical Bergère
The Mad Joker armchair is part of the famous Mad collection created by Marcel Wanders for Poliform, a family of furnishings characterized by enveloping lines, plastic shapes, and a strong sense of hospitality:
The enveloping silhouette: Mad Joker reinterpretates the classic wingback chair (bergère) in a thoroughly contemporary key. Its sinuous lines and tall back offer a protective and intimate shell, perfect for reading and relaxation moments.
The play of contrasts (Bimaterial): This version emphasizes the chair’s three-dimensionality thanks to the differentiated upholstery: the outer shell is clad in premium black leather that rigorously defines the furniture’s silhouette, while the interior is upholstered in a soft ivory-toned fabric, which brings light and a pleasant tactile sensation to the user.
The Coordinated Ottoman: The presence of the original footstool not only completes the composition aesthetically but also maximizes ergonomics and overall seating comfort.
Lot Condition: As New (Never Used)
The set presents itself in impeccable condition, perfect for the most demanding clients:
Usage Status: The armchair and ottoman are in as-new condition, never used. They come from a private exhibition setup where they remained pure decorative elements.
Upholstery: Both the exterior black leather and the interior ivory fabric are entirely intact, free from any stain, mark, scratch, wear, or signs of sagging.
Original Accessory Included: The lot is delivered complete with its original branded Poliform cover, ideal for best preserving the materials during periods of non-use.
Authenticity: The originality and conformity of the set are strictly guaranteed by the factory labels present on the components.
