Rara poltrona di Gio Ponti e Giulio Minoletti per la prima classe del treno Roma
Located in Rivoli, IT
Comunemente noto come Settebello, secondo il nome coniato dagli operai che lo costruirono, l’automotore a sette vagoni Elettrotreno rapido 300 (ETR 300) è stato in esercizio presso le Ferrovie dello Stato dal 1952 al 1992. Un mezzo davvero unico, prodotto solo in 3 esemplari dalla ditta Ernesto Breda di Sesto San Giovanni (MI) con l’idea di dotare la flotta delle ferrovie statali di un prodotto che unisse nuova tecnologia e design avveniristico. Con una potenza di 2600 kW, più che doppia rispetto al suo predecessore ETR 200, L’ETR 300 poteva raggiungere agevolmente i 200 km/h, percorrendo l’intera tratta Milano-Roma in sole 5 ore e 45 minuti, ad una media di oltre 110 km/h quando ancora la direttissima Roma-Firenze non esisteva. Il progetto, caratterizzato da sagome aeronavali all’esterno, venne firmato da Giò Ponti, da Giulio Minoletti ed altri architetti e designers di grido dell’epoca, e prevedeva per l’arredamento interno innovative pareti vetrate, finestrini panoramici, salotti con poltrone mobili, sala ristorante ed ampio bar, servizio bagagli registrati. Forse l'elemento più distintivo erano le due carrozze bombate di testa che vennero progettate con cabine di guida sopraelevate per lasciare spazio in basso a confortevoli salotti belvedere per gli 11 posti di prima classe.

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.

No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
