Guglielmo Ulrich Mid-Century Modern Italian Bouclè Settee, 1950s

About the Item

This sofa was designed by Guglielmo Ulrich in the 1950s, completely restored with new padding and covered in Bouclè fabric, as shown in the photo, the armrests and feet are in curved walnut, also restored and polished. Guglielmo Ulrich. Born in Milan in 1904 to Alberto and Luisa Battaglia. Coming from a noble family of Danish origin, he attended the Brera Academy and, after two years, in 1928 he graduated in architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan. In 1930 he founded, with Scaglia and Wild, the Arca company (home furniture) of which he would be the designer and which would present objects made with great care and skill using precious and exotic materials (until 1936). Until 1945 he designed furniture for Scaglia, made by Jannace and Kovacs. In the 1950s he participated in several Triennials, furnished shops and offices in various Italian cities and designed buildings. He participates in various competitions, including those relating to naval furnishings. The 1960s represent progress for Ulrich with a cautious interest in the industrial world. In 1961 he received first prize in the Trieste Fair competition for a chair produced by Saffa. The transition in scale from object to architecture does not involve particular methodological measures. In both cases Ulrich does not allow distinctions in attitudes, but the confirmation of a practice always aimed at the maximum possible result. He died in 1977. Source.
