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.

Antique and Vintage Armchairs for Sale on 1stDibs
Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.
Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.
In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.
Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.
When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.
If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.
If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.
Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose. Find yours on 1stDibs right now.
