About the Item

This rare armchair was produced in Italy in the late 1950s. The design is attributed to Gio Ponti. The geometric shape and the angled placement of the seat make this a distinct, modern design.

The backrest and seat are upholstered in the same fabric in a white shade.

  • Ignazio Gardella 'Digamma' Armchair in Emerald Green Lelièvre Fabric and Brass
    By Ignazio Gardella, Lelièvre Paris, Santa & Cole
    Located in The Hague, NL
    Designed by Ignazio Gardella in 1957, the Digamma lounge chair is a comfortable chair with roots in the late Italian modernist tradition. Its rational construction features two geometric sections - the rectangular upholstered back and seat - bound by a firm upholstered frame. The black metallic legs are finished off with Gardella's iconic brass 'duck' feet. The armchair has a three-position reclining backrest offering additional comfort and adjustability. This chair is a custom version realized by Santa & Cole for Kabinet Hubert, upholstered and sewn by hand in an emerald green Lelièvre fabric. This soft and dense fabric is a delicate combination of chenille and bouclé yarns. Ignazio Gardella was a member of the so-called third generation of the Modern Movement. He is considered one of the greatest exponents of Italian Rationalism, although he followed its principles in a much more personal way, searching to overcome its limitations. In 1957, he created the Digamma armchair...
