B&B Italia “Mini Papilio” Armchair, in Oxblood “Kasia” Leather

About the Item

Hello Friends, and welcome to another unmissable offering from Lord Browns Furniture, the UK’s premier resource for fine Sofas and Chairs. On offer on this occasion is a rare, superb “Mini Papilio” swivel-armchair, from the world renown Italian furniture house, B&B Italia. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Naoto Fukusawa masterpiece, B&B Italia pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Dressed in the most stunning and tactile high-grade “Kasia” leather-option in an elegant, timeless Oxblood. This hide is easily recognised as being of peerless quality with it being both as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, whilst its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. This chair is in gorgeous, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, regular use in its previous home, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past, but cannot be considered truly-perfect due to the presence of a small number of light, superficial marks and signs of use to the seat, backrest and outsides but, this modest issue aside, is as handsome as you could ever hope to find. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm the great condition and deeply-desirable appearance of this seating-icon. In its current state, this piece would easily meet the requirements of all but the most-particular of buyers and, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of their room, it is truly heaven sent! This superb armchair possesses all the beauty and majesty you would hope for from some of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, this Papilio’s measurements are H-80cm, W-69cm and D-76cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered, composite-filled back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Not only does this chair possess an aesthetic to die for, but it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable too! Costing in excess of £5600 when new, this piece represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this piece to most UK mainland addresses will cost £90, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers. Should i be able to help you further, feel free to call or message me. Warm regards, Daniel.

Baleri Italia Richard III Armchair in Black Leather by Philippe Starck
By Philippe Starck, Baleri Italia
Located in Milano, Lombardia
The very essence of bourgeois décor with a modern twist, the object as a mask, a technological jack-in-the-box. These are the ingredients of this highly symbolic armchair. The Richard III was created by Philippe Starck who, moved by the sight of battered old club armchairs abandoned in the street, decided to give them a new life. At this time, Starck was imagining President’s private apartment interiors in the Elysée Palace and the Richard III became President François Mitterrand’s favorite armchair. Armchair with completely molded structure in rigid structural polyurethane, painted with polyurethane enamel. Cushion in expanded polyurethane and dacron. Philippe Starck, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products (furniture, a citrus-squeezer, electric bikes, an individual wind turbine), to architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) and naval and spatial engineering (mega yachts, space habitation module), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene. In 1984 and 1985, Philippe Starck collaborated with Baleri to create five pieces of furniture: Café Chair, Francesca Spanish, Richard III, Président M...
