Original vintage condition with some defects on the fabric for this set of a sofa and two armchairs designed by Gastone Rinaldi and produces by his factory Rima during the 50s.

Elegant Italian swivel chair designed by Gastone Rinaldi for RIMA, dating to the 1960s. The chair features a sculptural upholstered shell with a gently enveloping profile, refined vertical stitching and a distinctive horizontally ribbed lumbar section. The seat is upholstered in white leather and supported by a polished chromed-metal pedestal terminating in a five-star base with casters. Its silhouette reflects the refined experimentation of postwar Italian furniture design, combining ergonomic comfort with a distinctly architectural form. The contrast between the soft upholstered shell and the precise chromed-metal base gives the chair a sophisticated, almost automotive character typical of the period. Thanks to its compact proportions and swivel base, the chair remains especially versatile in a contemporary interior. It can be used as an elegant desk chair, a refined vanity chair, a seat for a home office, dressing room or private study, or as a distinctive accent chair in a modern bedroom or living space. The neutral white upholstery and polished metal structure allow it to integrate particularly well into contemporary, minimalist, modernist and eclectic interiors.
