Product description
A true icon of Bauhaus modernism, this rare pair of armchairs, attributed to Enrico Prampolini for Cova Milano, embodies the radical design ethos of the early 20th century. The sinuous chrome-plated steel frame traces a continuous, flowing form—an elegant expression of movement and balance, defying traditional construction with its cantilevered silhouette. This innovation, pioneered during the Bauhaus era, gives the chairs an almost floating presence, a perfect harmony between industrial precision and sculptural fluidity.
The deep black leather upholstery adds a refined contrast, enhancing both tactile luxury and visual depth. The black wooden armrests, seamlessly integrated into the frame, provide an added layer of sophistication, reinforcing the sleek, monochromatic aesthetic while ensuring ergonomic comfort.
Extremely rare and highly collectible, these chairs are more than just seating—they are functional sculptures, merging Bauhaus rationality with Futurist dynamism. An unparalleled opportunity for collectors and design connoisseurs to acquire a museum-worthy statement piece that remains as relevant today as when it was conceived.
Enrico Prampolini (1894–1956) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and architect associated with the Futurist movement. He was a key figure in avant-garde art, known for his work in abstraction, theater set design, and industrial design. Prampolini was deeply influenced by the ideas of dynamism, technology, and modernity, which he integrated into various artistic disciplines. His contributions to furniture and interior design, such as the armchairs for COVA Milano, reflect his innovative approach to form and materials, blending functionality with artistic expression.
