About the Item

Designed in the 1970s by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Paolo Arnaboldi, this rare lounge chair and ottoman set merges tactile craftsmanship with relaxed, enduring functionality. The solid hardwood frame, shaped with rounded edges and bold proportions, supports a wide seat and backrest composed of woven vegetable-tanned leather straps—supple, breathable, and naturally aged to a warm, nuanced patina over time. The matching ottoman echoes the same woven structure for extended comfort, while an integrated side table in richly grained wood offers sculptural balance and practical utility—ideal for resting a drink, book, candle, or decorative object within easy reach. This Italian-Finnish collaboration reflects a quiet, organic modernism—architectural yet grounded. A refined, collectible ensemble perfectly suited to designers, curators, collectors, and thoughtfully composed interiors.
