20th Century Ignazio Gardella Pair of Armchairs mod. Digamma for Gavina, 1950s

About the Item

Ignazio Gardella (1905-1999) was an Italian architect, engineer and designer. His long professional career produced an enormous number of projects and achievements. Among the first buildings may be mentioned the Antitubercular Dispensary in Alessandria. He received numerous awards, including: the Olivetti National Prize for Architecture (1955), the Gold Medal of the President of the Republic to the Benemeriti della Scuola, della Cultura e dell'Arte (1977), the Leone d'oro alla carriera from the Venice Biennale (1996). Gardella's architecture always maintains a composure that could be described as classical, both from the extreme refinement of detail, and from his control of the overall design of the building and architectural space. He was also one of the founders of Azucena, together with Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua, in 1947. Here we have a pair of armchairs in metal and enameled steel frame with brass supports and upholstered in fabric, perfect for your living room. Very good condition, fully original. Ready to be shipped. Original Upholstery. Published in: Catalogo originale; G. Gramigna, Repertorio 1950- 80, Mondadori, 1985; A. Branzi, M. De Lucchi, Il design italiano degli anni 50, RDE, 1985; AA. VV., Dino Gavina: collezioni emblematiche del moderno dal 1950 al 1992, Jaca Book, 1992.
