About the Item
A striking 1940s Italian lounge chair designed by Franco Buzzi, reupholstered in a luminous grey velvet from Lelièvre Paris. The sculptural silhouette is balanced by gently flared armrests, a deep seat, and tapered wooden legs, reflecting the elegance and optimism of Italian mid-century design.
Expertly restored by our in-house team of artisans, this piece combines historic charm with contemporary comfort. A beautiful statement chair for collectors and interiors that favor graceful lines and refined materials.
Why we love it:
The chair’s soft sheen, rounded form, and discreet tailoring make it versatile for a range of interiors — from minimalist to maximalist. It’s mid-century sophistication without the weight.
