This armchair, produced in Italy in the 1950s by Studio BBPR for Arflex, represents a perfect example of modernist Italian design of the time. Characterized by clean and minimalist lines, the black painted metal structure offers stability and lightness, accentuating the contrast with the padded seat and backrest.
The seat is covered in red fabric, with slightly inclined and enveloping armrests that give a comfortable and welcoming appearance. The ergonomic design, typical of BBPR creations, is a perfect balance between functionality and style. The delicate details, such as the curvature of the armrests and the solidity of the base, make it an armchair suitable for both domestic environments and sophisticated work spaces.
This armchair embodies the essence of the 1950s modernist aesthetic, offering a collector's piece for lovers of vintage Italian design.
