Designed by the iconic Italian architect and designer Marco Zanuso, these "Lady" armchairs epitomize the groundbreaking elegance and innovation of mid-century modern design. Originally unveiled at the 1951 Milan Triennial, the "Lady" chair is celebrated as a pioneering work that seamlessly combines style, comfort, and cutting-edge production techniques, such as the use of foam rubber and elastic belts.
This particular pair is upholstered in luxurious powder blue mohair, lending them a soft and inviting texture while elevating their aesthetic appeal. The mohair’s gentle sheen complements the fluid, sculptural lines of the chairs. The curved, contoured silhouette—featuring a rounded backrest, angled armrests, and a subtly reclined seat—offers unparalleled comfort and timeless sophistication.
Marco Zanuso’s "Lady" chair design is characterized by its unmistakable blend of artistry and functionality. These chairs rest on sleek tapered legs, elegantly crafted in black enamel and polished brass, grounding the design while allowing its graceful form to shine.
Perfect for accent seating in living rooms, lounge areas, or offices, these chairs embody the artistry of mid-century Italian modernism, making them ideal for collectors, design aficionados, or those seeking to add an iconic touch to their interiors. In Mint Restored Condition.
