"Nemo" Brass, Iron or Copper Finished Head-Armchair by Fabio Novembre for Driade
"Nemo" Brass, Iron or Copper Finished Head-Armchair by Fabio Novembre for Driade

"Nemo" Brass, Iron or Copper Finished Head-Armchair by Fabio Novembre for Driade

By Fabio Novembre, Driade

Located in Brooklyn, NY

"Nemo" is an iconic polyethylene fixed or swivel monobloc head-armchair available in metal powder finishes (metal powder mixed with resin) such as iron, copper and brass. As these finishes contain metal powder, natural oxidation has to be considered as a peculiar feature of the armchair and not as a defect. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 32.6", W. 35.4", H. 53.1", Seat H. 16.1" FABIO NOVEMBRE uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure. This human figure is capable of becoming abstract and universal, able to propose a mythical beauty as occurred in Greek art. So that Nemo, a face with classic features, is hollowed out to create an inhabitable space. The result is a head-armchair to be lived from the inside. Like a mask, it simultaneously conceals and reveals its inhabitant. Fabio Novembre said about Nemo: "In 2010 it happened that the name "Nemo" immediately evoked the famous little fish, protagonist of the movie of the same name, made by Pixar in 2003. If this question had been asked at the end of the nineteenth century, the answer would have probably been Captain Nemo...

Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century
Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century

Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century

Located in Trenton, NJ

Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century A beautifully executed Hepplewhite spider back armchair in solid mahogany, produced by a quality American or English manufacturer in the late 20th century in faithful reproduction of one of the most celebrated chair designs in the Georgian decorative arts canon. The spider back — George Hepplewhite's ingenious oval back pierced into a radiating web of curved mahogany straps, each intersection accented with a carved rosette — is among the most visually distinctive and technically demanding chair backs in the English neoclassical tradition, requiring exceptional skill in both design and execution. This example presents the full vocabulary of the form with evident quality: the continuous oval back crest rising from the carved arm supports, the spider web lattice with its central carved rosette and accent rosettes at each major intersection, the fluted arm supports with carved rosette terminals, and the serpentine seat rail with carved apron detail. The front legs are the characteristic Hepplewhite tapered square leg with spade feet — clean, precise, and architectural. The rear legs splay gently outward in the period manner, providing both stability and visual elegance. The upholstered seat is fitted in a warm paisley fabric in tones of sage and cream — a period-appropriate pattern that coordinates naturally with the rich dark mahogany frame. The overall quality of the carving — particularly the rosette details and the precision of the spider web lattice — is consistent with the output of quality American reproduction makers working in the traditional furniture idiom. No maker's markings observed; please check the underside of the seat for any label. The Hepplewhite spider back chair...

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.
