About the Item
A striking pair of Italian reclining lounge chairs attributed to Nello Pini for Novarredo, dating to the late 1950s, ideal candidates for reupholstery.
These rare vintage armchairs showcase a sleek, modernist silhouette with angular black enameled steel legs and wide, sculptural armrests. Upholstered in a deep forest green leatherette, the chairs are both visually refined and comfort-focused, with a reclining back that adjusts to various positions for increased relaxation and comfort.
Their dynamic form is characteristic of postwar Italian design, blending functionality with a space-age edge. The reclining function and generous proportions make them ideal as reading chairs, while the tailored profile ensures compatibility with mid-century, modernist, and even industrial interiors.
Although unsigned, these armchairs closely resemble the 'Oscar' recliner by Nello Pini for Novarredo (1959), a design known for its ergonomic balance and industrial-chic frame. Whether placed in a living room, den, or study, they offer a sculptural focal point as well as a comfortable seat.
These vintage lounge chairs, in the style of Osvaldo Borsani for Techno, would pair beautifully with minimalist or brutalist décor and are equally at home in a masculine study or a curated mid-century interior. Their reclining functionality makes them practical for both formal and relaxed settings, while the green leatherette upholstery lends a sleek contrast to wood, concrete, or metal finishes.
These chairs are perfect for a Hollywood Regency, Italian Modern, Atomic Age, or Eclectic Contemporary interior. They work beautifully as lounge chairs, occasional chairs, cigar chairs, easy chairs, club chairs, reading chairs, or fireside chairs, and would also make a vibrant statement in creative offices, members clubs, retail spaces, or boutique hotel lobbies.
