Description from the seller
It is a modernist armchair that combines the sculptural elegance of artisanal carving with the warmth of a design conceived to live alongside everyday life. The wooden frame, solid and softly curved, shows meticulous work in the carved arms, where decorative figures appear, lending an almost symbolic air, as if the furniture carried a small visual narrative. These carvings, deep and well defined, are typical of workshops that, during the first half of the 20th century, fused late modernism with a taste for the organic and the narrative.
The original upholstery, surprisingly well preserved, adds authenticity and a charm that is hard to replicate. Its texture and light tone dialogue with the wood, creating a soft contrast that enhances the design’s lightness. The woven seat and backrest bring freshness, comfort, and a handcrafted touch that fits perfectly with the modernist aesthetic: flowing lines, natural materials, and a beauty born from the object's honesty.
The feet and joints, decorated with small carved motifs, complete a balanced, elegant, and characterful ensemble. It is a chair not only to look at: you can feel it, inhabit it, understand it as a piece that has endured decades while keeping its personality intact.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
