About the Item

There are objects that do not simply fill a space, but transform it. This pair of 1950s Rima-style armchairs is one of those rare cases in which design becomes a story, an atmosphere, an identity. Just one look is enough to understand it: the enveloping curves of the backrest, the compact and discreet profile of the seat, the visual lightness of the metal legs with golden terminals. Everything speaks the sober and refined language of post-war Italy, when furniture was not only functional, but also a way to find beauty and order in a world that was trying to rebuild itself. The green leather upholstery, intense but not invasive, has that deep shade that adapts to everything: in the full light of day as well as in the soft intimacy of an evening. It is not just any color, but a conscious choice of style. These seats do not want to be screaming protagonists, but elegant and reassuring presences. They are an invitation to sit down, to take some time, to slow down. They offer comfort, of course, but also an aesthetic that can dialogue with modern, classic, industrial or eclectic environments. The thin, slender legs, almost ironic in their simplicity, gracefully support a solid structure, built to last. In these armchairs you can feel the hand of the craftsman, the quality of the materials chosen, the design intention of someone who was not satisfied with beauty, but also wanted the right, the proportionate, the comfortable. Today they have become rare: those who own them keep them like small domestic treasures, capable of giving personality to a corner of the house, to a waiting room, to a creative studio. It is not just about furnishing, but about choosing something that tells a story, that has a past, and that is ready to accompany the future. If you love design that resists fashion, if you are looking for an authentic piece capable of giving soul to a space, this pair of armchairs is the answer. Not replicas, not reinterpretations: original and sincere, just as they were meant to be from the beginning.
