Armchair by Cesare Lacca for ISA Bergamo

3200 €IVA inclusa

Informazioni sull’articolo

Extraordinary armchair designed by Cesare Lacca for the renowned manufacturer ISA (Industria Salotti e Arredamenti) Bergamo, dating back to the 1950s. This piece is an emblematic example of the elegance and formal research that characterized the production of the Bergamo-based brand in the postwar years, when ISA established itself as one of the most innovative players in the Italian design landscape. The high backrest, with its soft and enveloping lines, gives the seat a sculptural and dynamic character, while the rounded armrests and the midnight blue velvet upholstery enhance the sense of comfort and refinement. The handcrafted edging with rows of brass studs emphasizes the sinuous profile of the armchair, enriching it with a precious decorative detail that dialogues perfectly with the tapered gilt-aluminum legs, typical of ISA’s production in that decade. In those same years, ISA Bergamo collaborated with some of the most important names in Italian design, such as Gio Ponti, Ignazio Gardella, Paolo Buffa, and Nino Zoncada, creating works that combined functionality, high-quality craftsmanship, and a modern, international aesthetic language. This piece by Cesare Lacca fully reflects that climate of innovation, representing a refined synthesis of organic lines, fine materials, and absolute comfort. Today, this armchair is not only a seat of great aesthetic charm but also a historical testimony to the creative fervor that animated Italian design in the 1950s, destined to enhance both contemporary interiors and museum collections. Excellent vintage condition as shown in the photographs.

Cesare Lacca was an Italian designer and architect active mainly between the 1940s and 1960s, renowned for his elegant and functional furniture, often characterized by meticulous attention to artisanal detail and a refined modernist taste. Trained in Milan, the epicenter of postwar design culture, Lacca became particularly well known for his bar carts and service tables produced during the 1950s, many of which are now considered icons of Italian mid-century design. His creations combined organic and lightweight lines with fine materials such as brass, bent wood, glass, and fabric or leather upholstery. His stylistic language oscillated between rationalist sobriety and the sensuality of curves, with a particular predilection for sculptural details. Some of his armchairs and seats stand out for their enveloping backrests, tapered legs, and fine finishes—elements that place them among the best Italian productions of the postwar period. Many pieces by Cesare Lacca were produced by distinguished manufacturers such as ISA Bergamo (Industria Salotti e Arredamenti), a company that in those years collaborated with masters like Gio Ponti, Paolo Buffa, Ignazio Gardella, and Nino Zoncada. This network of collaborations allowed Lacca to integrate into a highly innovative context where artisanal tradition and international modernity converged. Today, his works are highly sought after by collectors and international markets: his brass-and-glass bar carts, as well as his armchairs and tables, often appear in major design auctions and in galleries specialized in Italian modernism. The production of Cesare Lacca bears witness to the creative energy of postwar Italian design, characterized by a harmonious synthesis of function, elegance, and craftsmanship.
