About the Item

Pair of ultra-design armchairs attributed to architect-designer Paolo Buffa. Manufactured in the 1950s, this pair of armchairs with their dynamic, graceful lines embodies the spirit of modern 1950s design. These comfortable, timeless armchairs will find their place in both contemporary and classic interiors. The armchairs have been fully restored and reconditioned with Bouclé fabric in a cream shade. PAOLO BUFFA Architect and designer Paolo Buffa (1903-1970) worked from the 1930s to the 1960s. He is renowned for his furniture, which fuses neoclassical and Art Deco styles with the principles of modernism. His creations, often unsigned, are therefore difficult to identify. Aimed at the Milanese elite of the 1930s, Buffa's works are handcrafted in noble materials, giving them a quality comparable to that of French Art Deco master Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. By collaborating with skilled cabinetmakers, Buffa introduced modern, streamlined techniques into his work, increasing his output. His style clearly evolved towards a more contemporary aesthetic, moving from intricately ornamented neoclassical furniture to the more streamlined armchairs and consoles of the 1960s. During the same decade, the designer collaborated with the famous Italian manufacturer Cassina.
