Lot of "Airone" armchairs by Alberto Roselli for Arflex 1955

Pair of Airone armchairs commissioned by Arflex in 1956. With their minimalist structure and enveloping seat, these armchairs perfectly illustrate the balance between elegance, comfort and lightness characteristic of Ponti's work. Their tapered chrome metal legs contrast with the black imitation leather in a resolutely modern way. Manufacturer: Arflex Designer: Gio Ponti and Alberto Rosselli Materials: black imitation leather (skai), chrome metal legs Condition: very good condition for one, the second unfortunately has a 5mm tear on the back of the backrest (visible in the photo of the detail). Style: Post-war modernism and Italian industrial design These armchairs are real collector's items and a rare opportunity for lovers of Italian modernism and 20th century design.
