Italian Wingback Lounge Chairs, A Pair, ISA Bergamo, 1960's

About the Item

Prepare to have your jaw hit the marble floors—this pair of Italian wingback lounge chairs are total showstoppers. Crafted by none other than ISA Bergamo—the same legendary manufacturer behind Gio Ponti’s masterpieces—these chairs ooze mid-century sophistication. And oh, the quality! It’s the kind of craftsmanship that reminds you why Italy is the reigning champion of design. Let’s talk about the silhouette, shall we? These chairs are all about drama, darling. The arms taper gracefully toward the back, dipping down reaaaaallll low like they’re about to whisper a scandalous secret, before swooping upward into those high, regal wings. The whole vibe is giving “modernist royalty”—a little Gio Ponti, a little Paolo Buffa, and a whole lot of yes, please. Completely overhauled and ready for their next act, these beauties have been reupholstered in a dreamy white ultra luxurious Belgian boucle—so soft, it’s basically a hug in chair form. New foam ensures they’re as comfy as they are chic, because form and function are the Italian way. And let’s not sleep on those brass legs. They’re solid, strong, and sporting a patina that hints at a past life well lived. Some legs are more aged than others, but honestly? That just adds to their irresistible charm—like the leather on a vintage briefcase or a well-worn pair of Ferragamos. Italian Icons: Ponti & Buffa Gio Ponti (1891–1979) and Paolo Buffa (1903–1970) were the titans of mid-century Italian design. Ponti, the genius behind Milan’s Pirelli Tower and countless iconic interiors, was a master of blending elegance with innovation. Buffa, on the other hand, was renowned for his theatrical flair and impeccable attention to detail, creating furniture that felt both classic and avant-garde. These chairs channel the spirit of both legends, making them a perfect addition to any space craving a touch of Italian glamour. Whether you’re styling these chairs in a moody library, a minimalist living room, or a bougie bedroom, they’ll steal the show faster than you can say aperitivo. They’re a little decadent, a little dramatic, and 100% fabulous. So, grab your Negroni, queue up some classic Fellini, and let these chairs transport you straight to mid-century Italy.
