Product description
Marco Zanuso lady chair produced by Arflex Italy 1950’s, completely reupholstered with de ploeg bouclé fabric. The Marco Zanuso "Lady" chair, designed in 1951, epitomizes Italian mid-century modernism with its bold, yet graceful design. Its sleek, curved silhouette combines a sculptural steel frame with plush, upholstered seating, offering both comfort and aesthetic sophistication. The chair’s elegant contours are accentuated by its brass wrapped metal legs, which elevate the piece, giving it a floating, almost ethereal quality. Reupholstered in de ploeg bouclé fabric, with new webbing and foam throughout, this chair is a statement of refined craftsmanship. Perfectly balancing form and function, it remains a timeless icon of Italian design, ideal for contemporary and classic interiors alike. Marco Zanuso (1916–2001) was a pioneering Italian designer and architect celebrated for his influential role in post-war modernism. Known for harmonizing aesthetics with functionality, he was instrumental in developing innovative industrial design techniques. Zanuso's work spanned furniture, electronics, and urban design. His notable creations include the Lady Chair (1951), a benchmark in modern seating design, and the Doney 14 television, the first fully transistorized TV. Zanuso collaborated with major brands like Olivetti, Kartell, and Arflex, integrating cutting-edge materials such as polyurethane foam and plastics. A professor at Milan Polytechnic, he left a legacy of innovation, blending technological advances with timeless design.
