Sculptural Italian Walnut Armchair, 1950s – Mid-Century Modern Design Icon

About the Item

Sculptural Italian Walnut Armchair, 1950s – Mid-Century Modern Design Icon A stunning example of post-war Italian craftsmanship, this 1950s sculptural armchair is a masterclass in form and function. Made of solid walnut, the frame features a dramatic Z-shaped silhouette, clean lines, and striking geometry that embody the elegance of mid-century modern design. The open-frame construction showcases beautifully shaped and tapered slats, lending both visual lightness and architectural interest to the piece. The armrests flow seamlessly into the angular legs, giving the chair a unique sense of movement and balance from every angle. This armchair was designed for both comfort and style. Its deep seat and slanted backrest create a naturally reclined position, ideal for relaxing. While the frame is structurally sound and in very good vintage condition, the seat and back are currently outfitted with temporary webbing for staging. We recommend adding custom cushions or reupholstering to suit your personal style and ensure optimal comfort. Whether placed in a modernist interior, an eclectic lounge, or used as a statement piece, this chair will elevate any space with its sculptural silhouette and rich wood tones. Dimensions: Depth: 85 cm / 33.5 in Width: 64 cm / 25.2 in Height: 87 cm / 34.3 in Seat Height: approx. 37 cm / 14.6 in A rare and collectible piece that speaks to the innovation of mid-century Italian design, this chair is ideal for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of timeless, sculptural furniture.
