Set of Two Bulky Lounge Chairs in Wood and Velvet Upholstery, Italy 1970s

Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
These lounge chairs capture the essence of mid-century modern design, where functionality meets bold forms. Their construction reflects a thoughtful balance between natural and industrial materials, resulting in a striking yet practical design.

Design
The chairs are constructed from multiplex, veneered with mahogany, lending them a warm and grounded presence. Black plastic circular mounting elements punctuate the wooden framework, providing a subtle yet effective contrast to the natural wood grain. Beige velvet upholstery drapes over the wooden edges, showcasing a relaxed but intentional form. The capitonè technique used to secure the fabric adds texture and depth, with tufted details that emphasize the chair's plush comfort. The bulky armrests and deep seat create a sense of relaxation, while the solid wooden base anchors the design. The interplay between the curved upholstery and the geometric base offers a balanced and harmonious look.

These chairs represent a meeting point between style and comfort, making them a strong addition to any thoughtfully curated space. Their bold structure and meticulous details reflect an era defined by quality craftsmanship and innovative design thinking.

Condition
The veneer has some chips and will be restored in our workshop. The upholstery shows signs of wear and is slightly faded on the seating.
