Pair of Bonino Armchairs Upholstered in Light Cowhide, Italy 1960s

About the Item

The postwar boom years of the 1950s through to the 1960s were one of the periods of greatest influence of Italian designers. Design in the 60s paved a way to a more aesthetic approach to products as opposed to its utilitarian predecessors, resulting in exceptional pieces like these armchairs. This pair of chairs showcases the mastery and skill of Italian craftsmanship. The lines of their bodies are crisp and elegant, aiding to the stability, comfort and ergonomic design of the pair. Due to the well-chosen proportions and upholstered bodies, these chairs offer comfort in addition to aesthetics. The invisible, smooth joinery, the raised seat and the precise wooden structure are especially expressive of the mastery of the cabinetmaker. The main visual element however, remains the upholstery. The light cowhide is very textural, which stands out against the smoothness of the wood. The choice of cowhide not only speaks to the preference for organic materials in mid-century design, but also enhances the chair’s luxurious feel and quality. Despite the lush fabric, the bodies remain clear-cut, which can be observed in the angular and geometric shape of the arms and legs. From all angles, these armchairs offer beautiful textures and eye-catching forms, combining Italian elegance and modern aesthetics to create a timeless look which is full of modern energy that will endure for generations. This is also thanks to the exceptional visual quality and uncompromising level of craftsmanship. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. These armchairs have been reupholstered recently in premium cowhide. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
