20th Century, William Ulrich Pair of Armchairs 1950s
About the Item
Guglielmo Ulrich was an Italian architect, furniture designer, and painter. He was born to a notable family of Danish origin. In 1924, Ulrich enrolled in the Scuola Speciale di Architettura at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. He finished his studies at Politecnico di Milano in 1927 and soon became a very influential figure in modern Italian design.
In 1930, along with Scaglia and Wild, Guglielmo Ulrich founded and became head designer of home furnishing company Arca, a company engaged in the creation of high-quality furnishing accessories characterized by craftsmanship and the use of premium materials. In the 1950s, he participated in several editions of the Triennale di Milano and concentrated on designing buildings, offices, and retail shops throughout Italy.
Most of Ulrich's furniture designs from this era, and especially his chairs and chaise lounges, resemble simplified and streamlined design versions of late 19th century pieces and do not necessarily conform to modern designs prevalent in northern Europe and the U.S. in the 1950s. In the 1960s, Ulrich focused his work toward industrial design and was able to create original and impactful objects. His talent was rewarded on many occasions. In 1961, he won the Fiera di Trieste award for his Trieste chair, produced by furniture maker Saffa.
Ulrich's work is elegant and rich in detail. Although his work does not quite conform with the strict norms of simplicity of the time, it fits the prevailing aesthetics of Modernism.
Here a wonderful pair of armchair with wooden structure, brass details and fabric covering, designed by Guglielmo Ulrich and produced in Italy in 1950.
In very good condition and ready to be shipped.
The sofa as shown in the photo is also available.
