This pair of armchairs, made in the 1960s by XX for the Cappella collection, is a remarkable example of vintage design with clean, essential lines. The high-quality teak frame lends strength and durability, typical of Scandinavian design of the period. The teak structure features a smooth, natural finish, highlighting the beauty of the wood and its distinctive grain.
The cushions, padded for maximum comfort, are upholstered in leather. Over time, the leather has developed a patina that adds character and charm to these armchairs, making them unique pieces. However, one button is missing, a detail that, while not compromising the functionality of the armchairs, testifies to their history and the use they have been put to over the years.
These armchairs embody the minimalist elegance of the 1960s, combining simple design with high-quality materials, making them perfect for those who appreciate the vintage aesthetic and craftsmanship of the era. This piece has an attribution mark,
