AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Azucena "NEW never used" armchair model POLE POSITION in full-grain black bovine leather
Designer Luigi Caccia Dominioni
Pole Position is a tribute to the seats of sports cars, whose interiors are often as beautiful and comfortable as the finest bourgeois living rooms. This upholstered bergère represents a unique piece in Luigi Caccia Dominioni's production, and the automotive reference runs through every detail of this model: it starts with the backrest curves, passes through the stitchings and the capitonné work, and even reaches the wheels. The latter are almost a forgiving self-reference that seems to recall his ABCD chair, also equipped with two small casters at the front feet.
Azucena was founded in 1947 by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella, and Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua. The Italian brand Azucena has always stood out for collections that combine formal elegance, understated luxury, pure and sharp aesthetics, and a very high level of craftsmanship.
Azucena (named after the gypsy in the opera Il Trovatore) was created to collect furniture designs destined for furnishing the buildings they designed. A series of pieces iconic for their combination of different, always refined materials, and for reviving traditional stylistic forms, came back to life.
In 2018, it became part of B&B Italia, which sought to preserve and relaunch it in an active vision of Italian heritage. The historic brand returns to the market with a series of “modern classics” designed by architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni from the late 1940s. Chairs, sofas, tables, and lamps that have written the history of Italian-made design return today as a testament to class and quality.
