Paolo Malchiodi Wingback Chair in Yellow Ochre Fabric and Walnut, Italy, 1940s
-
Description
This rare armchair was designed by Paolo Malchiodi for a private residence near Florence in the late 1940s. With its sensual, organic curves and strikingly positioned tapered legs, the chair exudes a sculptural and modern presence. Visually appealing from all angles, this elegant interpretation of the wingback chair is ideal for central placement in an interior.
The sumptuous chair is in very good condition and has been newly upholstered in a yellow ochre Pierre Frey textured plain fabric with a velvety touch. The walnut legs are in good condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Paolo Malchiodi was an architect and designer based in Florence. Several articles in Domus (published in the 1930s-1950s) feature his work, where it was discussed and shown alongside the work of well known Italian and French contemporaries such as Gio Ponti, Jean Royère, Carlo Mollino and Paolo Buffa. The majority of his designs were hand-produced by local woodworkers and craftsmen in and around Florence.
The chair has been documented in the following literature: Esempi di arredamento moderno by Roberto Aloi, ed. Ulrico Hoepli, Milan, figure 194. -
