SILVER Seller in Milano, Italia
Enter a world where the essence of 1940s Italian design takes centre stage, embodied by a rare pair of armchairs designed by the legendary Giò Ponti for a naval project. These exceptional pieces were part of the furnishings on board the illustrious liner Conte Grande when it set sail in 1949. Made under the watchful eye of Italian craftsmanship by Cassina, these chairs are a true testimony to an era of unparalleled elegance. Accompanied by an archival certificate. The first thing that strikes one when looking at these chairs are their fluid, graceful lines. Designed with the utmost attention to the comfort of their occupants, they invite you to sink into their embrace, promising a moment of respite and relaxation. The sinuous curves of the armrests and the gently rounded contours of the backrest exude an inviting warmth, as if tailor-made to cradle you in comfort. The upholstery of these extraordinary armchairs is a testament to luxury and sophistication. Wrapped in a soft semi-silk and cotton fabric in a soft beige shade, they evoke a sense of timeless sophistication. The backrests are embellished with decorative buttons that add a touch of opulence and character to the design. But it is in the details that these chairs really shine. At the back are two conical rear legs that lend a sense of balance and stability. At the front, the semi-curved legs exude an air of grace and elegance, perfectly mirroring the curves of the chairs themselves. It is a harmonious blend of form and function, a testament to Giò Ponti's genius as a designer.
