Most designer chairs from Italy in the 1950s can be recognized by their heavily stylized frames in combination with often a less special-looking seating area that was primarily intended to provide comfort. We also see this premise lasts with this reclining armchair.

Design

The elegant beech wood frame is blessed with a warm and deep patina, creating an almost golden glow. Legs stand out from each other and therefore give the chair a dynamic character. The back legs are striking, which are shaped like a lightning bolt. Two brass caps are attached to the top of these back legs, which at the same time form the slides for the reclining function.The chair can therefore be placed in a lying position and easily pushed back into a sitting position. In both cases, the comfort is pleasant as the entire interior has been replaced, as has the upholstery, which is secured at the edges of the frame with a number of rows of decorative nails. Please note that the design of this chair is often attributed to Carlo Mollino and its manufacture is said to have been carried out by the Neapolitan company Antonio Gorgone.

Condition

This chair has been completely restored while retaining the patina in our studio and is in very good condition.
