About the Item
We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items.
This refined pair of Italian ottomans perfectly embodies the balance between vintage design and contemporary craftsmanship. Originally crafted in the 1960s (1960-1965) using faux leather, as was the style of the era, these furniture pieces come from a region historically renowned for high-quality furniture production. They were made in Meda, in the province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy (Italy)—a location famous for its design industry and its long-standing tradition of handcrafted classic and modern furniture, particularly during the golden age of Italian modernism. The artisans who created these pieces were inspired by the trends of the fascinating and creative 1960s—an era defined by expressive freedom and innovation, marked by a variety of styles and movements that enriched its aesthetic. The design of these ottomans reflects a preference for rounded shapes, compositional freedom, lightness, and simplicity. The goal was to create two compact yet bold and essential pieces of furniture, giving the pair a timeless elegance. Their design balances austerity and precision, while the clean lines add a dynamic and refined character. Here, the designer’s creativity and the artisan’s expertise merge to create an exclusive piece: a unique, sophisticated, and elegant furnishing accessory, perfect for both modern and classic interiors. We have carefully restored their beauty through a meticulous, entirely handmade process, selecting a luxurious gray velvet that enhances their rounded shape. The black velvet trim adds a touch of sophisticated elegance. The seat is soft and well cushioned. Their size makes them ideal as additional seating or as striking decorative elements. While their appearance has been refreshed, these ottomans retain all the charm of their original design, making them a perfect choice for those seeking a one-of-a-kind piece—one that tells a story and enriches any space with style and personality. We would like to highlight that the entire upholstery restoration was carried out by hand with skill and precision by a Master Craftsman from Prato, Italy. It is worth noting that Prato is considered one of the world's most important textile hubs, where artisans and specialized companies set the standard for creativity, quality, and excellence in the industry. Having undergone a complete restoration, the ottomans are in perfect condition.

View AllItalian Designer Pair Poufs with Velvet Cushions and Aluminum Structure
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Iconic and refined pair of poufs with velvet cushions and aluminum frame; the almost square top of the poufs has been restored and upholstered with an expensive, elegant, and sturdy velvet in a delicate but bold green color; the seat is supported by a solid, massive aluminum column and pivoted to it in such a way that it can rotate freely through 360°; from the column branch off four boldly shaped, slightly curved, and extremely sturdy legs at the end of which are placed non-slip rubber feet; these sturdy legs give exceptional stability to the whole. The pair of poufs were handcrafted between 1960 and 1965 in Meda in the province of Monza and Brianza in Lombardy, Italy, a place famous for its design industry and historic handcrafted production of classic and modern furniture. The artisans were inspired by fashion design in those fascinating and creative 1960s, a design that left room for creative freedom and innovation, a design that explodes into a variety of styles and movements that explain its richness, making room for roundness, freedom of form and movement, lightness and simplicity. The artisans were inspired by the desire to devise two small-sized objects with strong, simple lines and gave the pair of poufs a timeless elegance; their design plays between austerity and strictness, and their exaggerated linearity gives the objects a dynamic and stately character. Here, the designer's creativity and craftsmanship come together in an exclusive product, a unique modern furnishing accessory that is both refined and elegant at the same time and fits naturally and simply into both contemporary and classic environments. The 1960s was the time of the advent of pop art, with its bright colors, rounded shapes, plastic and wood, steel and aluminum forming a hitherto unthinkable meeting. 60s furniture...
