About the Item

An elegant pair of Italian high-back armchairs, attributed to Paolo Buffa and dating from the 1950s. The armchairs feature a sculptural, slightly flared silhouette, with high, enveloping backs, rounded armrests, and compact turned-wood legs. They are upholstered in a refined combination of blue velvet and textured blue chenille, creating a sophisticated contrast between the smooth front surfaces and the richly woven side and back panels. Small padded buttons adorn the backrests, adding a subtle tailored detail. Their generous proportions and distinctive architectural lines make these armchairs ideal for a living room, a private study, or an elegant reading area. A refined example of mid-century Italian design, combining comfort, craftsmanship, and timeless decorative appeal. Completely restored and reupholstered.

Pair of Mid Century 366 Armchairs in Blue Velvet, Jozef Chierowski, Europe 1960

Pair of Mid Century 366 Armchairs in Blue Velvet, Jozef Chierowski, Europe 1960

By Jozef Chierowski

Located in 05-080 Hornowek, PL

The 366 armchair is an icon of the polish design of the PRL period. The famous armchair was designed in 1962 by the Polish interior designer and furniture designer Jozef Marian Chierowski. Produced in the Lower Silesian Furniture Factory in Swiebodzice. The chair has a simple, modernist form. It consists of an upholstered seat combined with a wooden backrest. The organic shape is typical of the 1960s style. The chair is very ergonomic and comfortable, as the furniture designs of that time were largely focused on the user. Due to its small size, the furniture fits perfectly into the interiors of contemporary apartments, perfectly meeting the needs of customers. The chair is in perfect condition after a professional renovation. We can prepare this set also in another wood and fabric color. About the fabric: This is special collection of velvet in a stunning color range of more than 100 different shades of both pure classic and non-obvious pastel broken colors. The colour palette has been created with extreme attention following the most recent trends. The unique feature of this fabric is its producing in nanotechnologies, so called WATER CLEAN, which gives it a high resistance to stains and facilitates the removal of stains from coffee, chocolate and even ink. This fabric is a perfect imitation of cotton velvet, gives the effect of softness and matte surface which works very well in heavy curtains...
