About the Item

Pair of Paolo Buffa Wingback Velvet Armchairs, Italy, 1950s – Reupholstery Advised Offered is a striking pair of mid-century Italian wingback armchairs attributed to renowned designer Paolo Buffa, crafted in the 1950s. These sculptural armchairs feature the hallmark characteristics of Buffa’s refined aesthetic: high, dramatically flared backs, gently rolled arms, and elegant tapering wooden legs. The chairs are upholstered in vintage velvet fabric, which appears consistent with the original period. While still visually appealing, the upholstery shows signs of age and use, and we recommend professional reupholstery to restore the chairs to their full potential. The frames remain solid and structurally sound, preserving the original craftsmanship typical of Buffa’s collaborations with fine Milanese cabinetmakers. Whether restored to a lush jewel-tone velvet or a neutral contemporary textile, these chairs offer the perfect foundation for a statement piece tailored to your interior. The expressive form and proportions make them ideal as feature lounge chairs in refined living spaces, studies, or boutique settings. Paolo Buffa was a leading figure in Italian design during the post-war years, known for his fusion of neoclassical inspiration with clean, modern lines. Pieces attributed to Buffa remain highly collectible and are increasingly sought after in international design markets. Dimensions (approx.): Height: 98 cm (38.5 in) Width: 78 cm (30.7 in) Depth: 83 cm (32.7 in) Seat Height: 46 cm (18.1 in) Offered as a pair. Note: Upholstery is vintage and aged—reupholstery is recommended. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a foundational piece of Italian mid-century design, ready for a new life in a contemporary or classically styled interior.
