Elvira Armchair Bespoke Masterpiece by Angela Ardisson Bronze and Leather
About the Item
Elvira is a sculpture armchair and a bespoke masterpiece created by Angela Ardisson for her Avio Collection in 1997. The design of the precious bronze castings draws its unique inspiration from the fuselage of airplanes.
The bearing structure consists of two numbered castings made of brass, which are entirely hand-sculpted. All the carved areas inside the castings are oxidized with a matt copper green finish and stand in beautiful contrast to the external metal profiles, which are mirror-polished. Also, the back support on the ground is a bronze casting. The padding is made of a thermoforming foam which can adjust to the body temperature and ensure maximum comfort. The coating in grain leather softly maintains the shape of the armchair, despite its elasticity and adaptability to the body shape. The ultra-soft leather wraps around all the curved parts and round details of the armchair, including the concave part of the seat. This Elvira leather armchair is a one-of-a-kind piece, the last one of a numbered brass series created by Angela Ardisson.
The powder pink color matches beautifully with the copper green castings. The soft arm-rest padding on the head of the bronze casting can rotate easily at 360 degrees to leave space for any kind of object or simply to enjoy a glass of wine.
Elvira is handcrafted in Italy by a team of skilled artisans: Angela has supervised and coordinated the work of upholsterers and masters of fusion through the sand casting processes, which utilizes expendable sand molds to form complex metal parts. The surface treatment of the metal is at the same time spontaneous and controlled: the natural oxidation meets its polished profile. An extraordinary piece of furniture, rich in details of minimalist beauty, which will take your interiors to the next level.

Angela Ardisson
Angela Ardisson is an Italian artist specializing in product design. She has been pursuing her creative and design activity since 1987, exploring the boundless universe of matter. Metals, since 1994, have been the key factor of the most creative moments of her career: brass, iron, bronze, silver and copper melted together and mixed with blown glass.
The passion for multi-disciplinary design defines her artistic eclecticism.
She has taken part in the Milan Design Week/Fuori Salone every year since 1989, often joining more events at the same time. Yesterday as today, the most outstanding signature of her art
is the combination of lines and chromatic shades due to the natural oxidation of metals,
which are organically treated. The love for light, shadows and reflections is the leitmotiv
of her entire work, which she likes to define “the art of living matter”. In 2000 she founded Artplayfactory, her workshop and creative studio in Milan, where she currently works and creates. She has been collaborating with Baxter since 2013 and her brass suspension lamp “Lais” is still successfully featured in their collections.

- Oxygen Spheres, Ceiling Installation by Different Lamps by Angela ArdissonLocated in Milano, ITThe Oxygen Spheres are a collection of light and graceful suspension lamps.Their structure is carefully wrapped with a metallic fabric, a work of high craftmanship. These lamps are extremely light even in their largest versions and are therefore suitable for setting up rooms with plasterboard false ceilings, which cannot support weights. Their metal frames are made of a very thin wire, welded together with great skill to become a strong structure and support for the metal fabric. In order to obtain such perfect spherical shapes, regardless of the hostile and sharp metal fabric covering them, the type of work carried out recalls the haute couture processes and requires the greatest attention for the smallest details. The result of this working process is a sophisticated product with a soft and round volume. The light flooding from the heart of the Oxygen lamps is crossed exclusively by the thin metal veil, which allows an excellent intensity (dimmable in multiple compositions), adding transparency and lightness to day light environments and creating detailed shadows even in the absence of electric light. The lightning element inside is cocooned in a transparent glass cylinder. Available also in different tones of bronze: an elegant and calm palette ranging from brass tone to dark bronze. The fabric of these lamps is coated with layers of precious metals like gold, silver and bronze, the alchemic process being the focus of Angela Ardisson’s entire work. Oxygen lamps are perfect for lightning up the living areas, spacious entry halls, stairwells on more levels. In their smallest combination they are ideal to light up the dinner table. This precious and thick metallic coating triggers the most unexpected colour effects whenever the layers meet. Oxygen bespoke lamps...Category

- Pair of Bespoke Leather, Club Armchairs, 'The Dutchman', Chairs by London FineLocated in Hele, Devon, GBOur Stock # 18.7480 Presenting a superior, bespoke pair of club armchairs, handmade in England. The Dutchman by London Fine, a deep-seated, traditional club chair, so named for its relaxed, long profile. Drawing upon London Fine's extensive knowledge and experience in traditional antique furniture, The Dutchman is the first in a new portfolio representing a renaissance of true artisan, traditionally inspired furniture. Engaging some of the most talented craftsmen, selecting the finest materials and utilising no expense spared, traditional principles of the highest order, The Dutchman delivers a new standard in the vanguard of luxury furniture. Conceived from the desire to create an uncompromised classic, the conceptual idea leant itself perfectly to the creation of a chair, handcrafted to offer the last word in refined relaxation. Using traditional techniques and an eye for exacting detail, this is an inviting opportunity to grace the home with a pair of distinctive, luxuriant chairs upholstered in superior aniline hides, that will last several lifetimes. The select tulipwood frame, sourced from 25 year sustainable stocks, benefits from pegged and bonded joints to offer a desirably robust structure – a testament to the pursuit of quality, right down to the very core of the chair. The serpentine arms and bellied seat-rail express their form from deep within the sumptuous layers of cushioning. Eschewing the throwaway modern trend for stapled seams, here, only traditional, individual, stud nailing will suffice. Inspired by Georgian and Victorian hand-craftsmanship, the frame is the skeleton for profusely webbed and deeply sprung upholstery offering luxurious comfort. Layered in four sections, the deeply stuffed cushioning, with a thoughtful balance of feather and down, offers an invitation to relax. Of the finest quality, the aniline, Highland Chianti hide is a visual and tactile delight. The leather is hand padded, sealed and tanned, accentuating the sinuous form with a finish that will only improve with age and use. Each chair raised upon American, black walnut, tapering legs, splayed at the rear featuring chamfered inner corners and riding smoothly upon high quality, antiqued castors...Category
