Lounge Chair model “Green” by Salvati and Tresoldi for Pozzi, Italy 1970s
-
Description
The Green lounge chair by Alberto Salvati and Ambrogio Tresoldi for Pozzi is a piece that blends function with bold design. Salvati and Tresoldi, known for their innovative approach to Italian furniture design, often explored the relationship between structure and material, creating pieces that stood out for their elegance and practicality. Pozzi, an esteemed Italian furniture manufacturer, became synonymous with quality craftsmanship during the mid-20th century, working with some of the most talented designers of the era. This collaboration resulted in a chair that embodies both durability and artistic flair.
Design
This model is constructed with a curved wooden frame veneered in teak, supporting a seat and backrest of red saddle leather. The leather, rich in tone, is tightly suspended across the frame, allowing for a seat that adapts to the user's form over time. Six buckles secure the seat beneath, while four hold the backrest in place, reinforcing both stability and adjustability. The wood frame curves in a continuous line, grounding the chair in strength while providing a striking visual element. The contrast between the warm, polished teak and the deep red leather is understated yet refined. Functional yet sculptural, the design emphasizes simplicity without compromising on comfort. The low-slung profile and generous seat invite users to sink in and unwind, embodying a blend of casual elegance and structural integrity.
The Green lounge chair reflects mid-century ideals of blending form and purpose. It is a versatile piece that can complement both contemporary and classic interiors.
Condition
The condition of the chair is very good with only minor signs of wear. -
