About the Item

A rare and elegant pair of Italian vintage mid century modern armchairs; their architectural profiles are offset by the soft curves of the seats, armrests and setbacks. They are beautifully proportioned with comfortably ample seats. The shape of seat backs, seen in profile, adds a quiet ergonomic elegance. The chairs stand on tapered stained wood legs, a hallmark of Gio Ponti design in the 50's. From their inception these exceptional vintage Italian chairs were constructed with the highest level of quality. The chairs are constructed on a wood structure, the seats are constructed on 8 way hand tied spring, the standard of excellence in mid-century seating, and are very comfortable. They have been thoughtfully restored in our studio and are newly re-upholstered in a taupe incised Italian satin. These armchairs have been attributed to Gio Ponti, Italy, circa 1950.
