About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. For the shipment of this item, as the rates of couriers change daily, we prefer, if you are interested in the object, that you contact us directly so we can offer you the best possible price. Comfortable and cozy French armchair in Country Chic style; it has soft and cozy silhouettes with excellent upholstery, perfect for daily use; the frame is very sturdy and solid so the armchair is heavy, which is why it has been equipped with four elegant feet made of solid cast brass; the colorful and exceptional fabric that covers the armchair is not printed, but is a special fabric of cotton threads woven by artisans who used a handloom with which they were able to create the designs, geometric patterns and an incredible array of variations where the only limitation was their inventiveness. The backrest is wide, the seat wide and deep, and the practical armrests are at the right height for a perfect relaxation; there is a pocket on the right side for storing newspapers or magazines. The armchair was made between 1970 and 1973 by an artisan workshop located in Usson du Poitou, a small town in the region of New Aquitaine (France), the locality since the early 1800s has always been a landmark in the furniture industry in France and has always been distinguished for its excellence, quality and innovation; The area is home to the workshops of Maison Duvivier, one of the most famous furniture companies in all of France. The Country style originated in France in the 1600s when Louis XIV, driven by a desire to make France an example of the style, had Versailles renovated. The style he used became popular in Provence, where simple country homes began to be contaminated with the refined influences from the capital. From the French country style, the English country style, better known as classic country, was defined and spread to England. American country style undergoes the influences of English and French country style after the massive colonization of settlers in the New World. Our armchair is less rustic and rough than the pure country style, in fact, it was created in the Country Chic style. Country Chic is a style of furniture that mixes rustic and modern elements, it gets its name from influences from charming events held in the country with a romantic and elegant touch. What is striking is the ability to fuse tradition and modernity in objects that tell of a connection to roots and one's own style. In the American setups that so populate our imagination, Country Style is often associated with the cowboy lifestyle, boots with spurs, and wide-brimmed hats, but thanks to Country Chic the rustic style has evolved and adapted to the times no longer exclusive to country homes, but a way of furnishing tastefully even in apartments in the middle of urban centers, because it manages to find the right balance point between the rustic and chic souls of this style. The armchair is in good condition. Measures width cm.83, depth cm.80, height cm.95, seat cm.46. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

  • Zanuso Marco Style Italian Armchair with Red Velvet
    By Marco Zanuso
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    We kindly suggest that you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Very comfortable and elegant upholstered armchair; the frame is very solid with sturdy legs made of polished and brushed brass; the seat is deliberately low but large and comfortable; the wide overall appearance has soft and pleasing lines, perfect for conveying a feeling of comfort and well-being. The armchair was made between 1960 and 1963 by an artisan workshop in Meda (Milan, Italy) that collaborated with several Lombard architects; for the creation of the armchair, the artisans were inspired by architect Marco Zanuso, following his design. Marco Zanuso (1916-2001) was among the greatest interpreters of the culture of the modern, as an architect, designer, and university lecturer; he was one of the first designers to take an interest in the problems of product industrialization, going beyond the aesthetic question to incorporate technological, industrial, distribution and communication variables. The form of an object intended for serial reproduction, according to Zanuso, is thus a synthesis of opportunities, experimentation, and innovations located in the concrete process that links creativity, production, and sociocultural context. His countless creations include the Lady armchair, and the Antropus armchair...
