About the Item

I am offering for sale an armchair originally designed for the office but which is also perfect for home use, as a lounge chair in a living room or in the bedroom to hang clothes. Designed by Ico Parisi between the 50s and 60s, this swivel chair is part of the "Terni" series, made in Italy by the historic furniture company "MIM Roma" Founded in 1958 by Ennio Fazioli, MIM, whose acronym stands for "MOBILI ITALIANI MODERNI" boasts collaborations with the most important post-war Italian designers, such as Marco Zanuso, Carlo Scarpa V. Gregotti, L. Meneghetti, G. Stoppino and, as in the case of our seat, Ico Parisi. The vintage office chair we are offering is not only swivel, thanks to the wheels attached to the black painted aluminum base, but also has a pneumatic adjustment of the seat height. The design of this Mid Century Modern armchairs, especially how the seat connects to the backrest, recalls for its enveloping shape and the materials used the iconic Ottoman Chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames. The seat and backrest are made of curved plywood veneered in mahogany essence, padded and covered in cognac-colored leather, they have been thoroughly cleaned and subjected to a conservative restoration. The chair works and is in good vintage condition, it shows minimal signs of use and time visible in photos and videos.

Otto Zapf Executive Chairs in Original Saddle Brown Leather by Knoll
By Knoll, Otto Zapf
Located in Stamford, CT
Otto Zapf, a distinguished German product designer, embarked on his career in his homeland, driven by an enduring passion for flexibility and human-centered design. By the time he joined forces with Knoll in 1973, Zapf was already an accomplished designer, and his transition was as seamless as the furniture he would go on to create for the iconic brand. Marrying a distinctly German design philosophy centered on systems with a deep commitment to humanism and ease of use, Zapf crafted pieces that were as functional as they were inviting. His Softline System, a modular office storage suite, epitomized this approach by combining rigid frames with soft, attachable fabric surfaces. This design ethos found further expression in his Executive Seating Collection, where soft, upholstered pads mounted onto spring steel frames resulted in a creation unmistakably true to Zapf’s vision. Zapf's commitment to "friendly design" is evident in every aspect of his Executive Seating Collection. He masterfully balanced the demands of comfort and ergonomics, crafting a chair that not only looks inviting but also offers unparalleled functionality—a hallmark of Knoll’s design philosophy. The innovative cushion system, a key feature of this chair, reflects Zapf's dedication to adaptability and ease of maintenance. Each of the five independent cushions can be effortlessly removed for repair or replacement, ensuring the chair’s longevity. The back cushions glide smoothly along dual rails of spring steel, adjusting to the user's preferred reclining position with natural ease. The result is a chair that not only welcomes but also adapts to the user, embodying the very essence of Zapf's design principles. This particular chair is no longer in production, making it highly sought after, especially when presented in the timeless Saddle Brown leather as shown. We currently have six of Otto Zapf’s Executive Chairs...
