Description
A pair of comfortable bergère armchairs in fabric and wood, upholstered in velvet, in the style of Gianfranco Frattini, Italian manufacture, 1950s.
The elegance of the bergère armchair, a piece that has spanned centuries of furniture history, reached the 1950s with a renewed aesthetic while staying true to its essence of comfort. The wide seat and distinctive lateral supports, the "wings," designed for relaxation, are also key features of this pair of mid-century Italian armchairs. Their style draws inspiration from the works of Gianfranco Frattini, a Padua-born urban planner celebrated for his geometric, angular designs.
These sharp lines and Frattini’s passion for wood as a primary material are evident in the supporting structure of these armchairs. Natural-finished slats, showcasing the wood grain, support the upholstered sections. The rear leg, set at an angle, gently tilts the backrest to enhance comfort. Ideal for reading or engaging in quiet conversation, these armchairs fit seamlessly into a living room or a study, combining functionality with timeless aesthetics.
The upholstered sections have been fully refurbished and re-covered in high-quality light velvet.
