Rationalist Children Armchair Attributed to BBPR

About the Item

In a corner of Italian rationalist design history, a very rare children's armchair emerges, a masterpiece of extraordinary elegance and functionality. Attributed to the renowned B.B.P.R. group, this armchair is a true jewel of Italian manufacture, a cult object reflecting the meticulous attention to detail and innovation typical of the 1950s. A similar example of this marvel published in the pages of Domus, giving this armchair an aura of exclusivity and historical importance. The base of the armchair is a masterpiece in itself, made of fine wood with a round footrest that is distinguished by its delicate striations. This base is not only a functional support, but a design element that enhances the beauty of the entire structure. From it rises a central trunk, also round, that gracefully supports the seat, creating a perfect balance between stability and visual lightness. The seat, also round, is upholstered in an original floral fabric of the period, a charming reminder of the past that envelops the child in a comfortable and nostalgic embrace. The cushion, soft and inviting, offers extraordinary comfort, making this armchair not only a collector's piece, but a cozy refuge for little ones. The real heart of the armchair, however, is the backrest, a T-shaped frame that supports the child in a simple but ingenious way. The tall, rectangular, slightly curved frame gently wraps around the backrest, maintaining the same floral fabric that covers the seat. This detail gives the entire armchair an aesthetic coherence and elegance that transcends time. This small armchair is not just a design object; it is a historic piece as it dates from around the 1930s, almost space-like in its uniqueness, combining form and function in a way that only the masters of rationalist design could conceive. It is perfect for children, a small throne that lends dignity and style to the youngsters' moments of relaxation. Its beauty and simplicity make it a work in miniature, suitable for those seeking not just a piece of furniture, but a piece of history, a design narrative that can be passed down from generation to generation. This armchair is bound to shine in any setting, adding a touch of elegance and a sense of wonder that only true masterpieces can offer.
