Mid-Century Modern Italian Bouclè Settee, 1950s

About the Item

This sofa has been completely restored with new padding and upholstered in Bouclè fabric, as shown in the photo; the arms 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 Milan Polytechnic. 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 mastery 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 took part in several competitions, including those for naval furnishings. The 1960s represented 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 change in scale from object to architecture did not involve any particular methodological measures. In both cases Ulrich did not allow distinctions in attitude, but the confirmation of a practice always aimed at the best possible result. He died in 1977. Source.
