About the Item

Spectacular pair of Italian Art Deco armchairs from 1920. The armchairs have been attributed to Giuseppe Terragni. The armchairs have an unusual very rounded line with well-defined lines. The armchair is made of curved walnut wood that forms a perfect circle. The armrests and the backrest are made of a single piece of wood that ends up as a semi-circle. The armrests and backrest are supported by three red painted metal tubes that give the armchair an imposing look and create an Italian rationalist style. In fact it is designed according to proportions, volumetric impact and balance of the classical architectural space between art deco and Italian rationalism. Its seat consists of a cushion perfectly adapted to the curves of the armchair. The seat, as you can see, is in its original condition and has some defects and faults missing and fabric of the time. At the client's request the couple can restored. From the great scenic impact this wonderful pair of armchairs is ideal for classic environments, living rooms of great style and importance. Giuseppe Terragni (Meda , 18 April 1904 - 19 July 1943) was an Italian architect who worked mainly under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini and was the pioneer of the modern Italian movement under the heading of rationalism. He attended the Politecnico di Como and then studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. In 1927 he opened a studio in Como with his brother Attilio. They remained in business until Giuseppe's death during the war. Pioneer of the modern movement in Italy, Terragni realized some of his most significant buildings. Founding member of the Fascist Group 7 and leader of Italian rationalism, Terragni fought to move architecture away from neoclassical and neo-baroque revivalism. In 1926, together with other progressive members of Group 7, he published the manifesto that made them leaders in the fight against revivalism. In a career that lasted only 13 years, Terragni created a small but remarkable group of projects, most of which were built in Como, which was one of the centres of the Modern Movement in Italy. These works constitute the core of the language of Italian rationalist or modernist architecture. Terragni was also one of the leaders of the artistic group called "comaschi abstractionists" with Mario Radice and Manlio Rho, one of the most important events of modern Italian art. He also contributed to the Fascist Revolution Exhibition in 1932. In his latest projects, Terragni achieved a more distinctive Mediterranean character through the fusion of modern theory and tradition. Terragni died of tuberculosis in Como in 1943.
