AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Azucena “NEW, never used” POLE POSITION armchair in full-grain black bovine leather
Designer Luigi Caccia Dominioni
Pole Position is a tribute to sports car seats, whose interiors are often as beautiful and comfortable as the finest bourgeois living rooms.
This upholstered bergère is unique in Luigi Caccia Dominioni’s body of work, and the reference to automobiles is a recurring theme throughout every detail of this model: from the curves of the backrest to the stitching and button-tufting, right down to the wheels. The latter are almost a playful self-reference, seemingly alluding to his ABCD armchair, which also has two small castors at the base of its front legs.
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, a pure and crisp aesthetic, and the highest level of craftsmanship.
Azucena (named after the gypsy in the opera Il Trovatore) was created to bring together furniture designs intended for the interiors of the buildings designed by its founders. A series of now-iconic pieces has been brought back to life, distinguished by the combination of different yet always carefully selected materials and the revival of traditional stylistic forms.
In 2018, it became part of B&B Italia, which sought to preserve and relaunch the brand as part of an active vision of Italian heritage. The historic brand returned to the market with a series of “modern classics” designed by architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni from the late 1940s onward. Chairs, sofas, tables and lamps that helped shape the history of Italian design are now returning as a testament to style and quality.
