Mid Century Renzo Zavanella Pair of Gray Shearling Armchairs, Italy 1960s

About the Item

Designed by the Mantuan architect Renzo Zavenella. Zavanella's work is greatly influenced by his ergonomic studies for train seating. While the armchairs' low seat and high narrow back are characteristic of Zavanella's seating designs, their dynamic form supported by three legs and their curved headrest closely relate to the architects studies for Off cine Meccaniche (O.M.) railcar seating. The wide seat and curved shape of the railcar's seating, which Zavanella applied to the present armchairs, allowed the sitter greater flexibility, reflecting a new period of optimism in post-war Italy. Reupholstered in grey shearling.
