Rare and extraordinary Viscontea model armchair, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Simon Gavina, an industrial transformation of the Sanluca armchair 20 years earlier, and authentic icon of the Italian design of the 80s.
Often this armchair is erroneously attributed to the Gavina technical study. For the re -edition, the Castiglioni brothers were involved, as described by the original advertisements Simon.
This piece, published in the main magazines of the time, represents a perfect synthesis between formal experimentation and enveloping comfort.
The sculptural and bold silhouette, characterized by the famous "double curve" of the back that recalls the profile of a noble collar or the shape of a stylized fur, makes the Visconti immediately recognizable and scenic.
The structure, rigorously padded and covered in bright green alcantara, underlines the theatrical vocation of the session and the refinement of the processes, while the enveloping volume invites us to sit in an almost protective dimension, in perfect balance between art and function.
Produced by the Simon International by Dino Gavina, this armchair represents one of the peaks of the collaboration between the Castiglioni brothers, brilliant interpreters of radical and innovative thought that has made the Italian design famous in the world famous.
The original coating, marked Simon under the body, certifies the authenticity of the piece.
A collector's object, increasingly rare on the market, which not only furnishes but defines the space: ideal both in a contemporary interior and in a context of pure collection, the Visconti is a visionary tribute to the great design of the twentieth century.
Perfect pressure conditions with minimal signs of use only on the basis, for the rest it seems new.
