Each armchair features a padded structure upholstered in red skai, with wide armrests, a slightly inclined backrest and a rounded front seat cushion. The legs are made of black lacquered iron, with a slender splayed profile that gives the chairs a light and balanced appearance.

The design reflects the functional and decorative approach of Italian seating from the 1950s, combining simple geometric lines with comfortable proportions. The red upholstery gives the pair a strong visual presence, while the black metal legs provide a clean structural contrast.

The armchairs are in fair vintage condition. The skai upholstery shows visible signs of age and use, including wear, marks, small tears and imperfections, particularly along the edges and arm areas. Reupholstery is recommended to restore the chairs fully and adapt them to a new interior setting.

The structure is suitable for restoration, and the pair is offered in its current vintage condition. Overall, these armchairs remain an interesting example of Italian mid-century design, ideal for a restoration project. See less
