Vintage 1950's Italian Armchairs by Federico Munari

About the Item

Federico Munari (1907-1998) was an Italian designer known as a master of elegantly organic forms. His seating models - including these chairs - were created to highlight the spirit of rebirth of post-war furniture design characterized by clean lines and a free spirit. These individualistic lounge chairs reflect the mid-century Italian furniture style that was defined by unique design, perfect execution, and exclusivity. This delightfully eccentric pair is quite simplistic in its design, featuring a combination of round, shell-like bodies and minimal legs. Their distinctive rotund bodies embrace the sitter comfortably with their sloping armrests, which creates a cosy feel and look. Though many mid-century Italian designers may not have the name recognition as some of their Scandinavian counterparts, they were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe. The appreciation for their contribution is still growing today making outstanding Italian pieces like these chairs highly sought after.
