Designed for the era of lounge living, this armchair is inviting & comfortable with its high back, relaxing curves & lush velvet. The elegant style, size, & quality detail make this chair well suited for an impressive sitting room. The style fits within a range of Interiors such as Traditional, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Minimalist, Industrial or Contemporary.

Part reclined, part ready for take-off, this chair reflects the 1950`s ideals of lounge living and the Atomic-age. The organic curves ensure the design remains soft while also adding movement & continuity.

Some history about the design process of the armchair:

In the past we have stocked at Roomscape original vintage Marco Zanuso armchairs. As originals are difficult to come by and often there have been issues with condition, we arranged to have this model in the style newly made. Working with local craftsman in Italy using traditional methods to exact specifications & quality materials, each armchair has a quality solid wooden frame.

The frame sits on 4 removable handmade solid polished brass legs that screw to the frame. Each leg is in solid polished brass and has the top portion made as a plate, with four holes to screw to the sofa giving great stability to the piece. 

The quality Italian velvet fabric is 100% Polyester, high performance with good backing, soft, durable and flame retardant.  All the components meet fire regulations.

Packing is offered free of charge. This chair would be pack with bubble wrap, foam and cardboard, and sealed with a layer of stretch wrap for safe transport. The legs can be unscrewed from the frame if necessary and packed in a box.

Additional dimensions:

Height of the seat from the floor is 43.5 cm.

Height of the arm rest is 53.5 cm.

Please note that each armchair is individually handmade so there could be slight minor variation in the dimensions.

We also offer in our Contemporary Collection a bespoke Marco Zanuso inspired `Lady` armchair, that was originally the complementary piece designed to go alongside Marco Zanuso`s `Senior` chair. The `Lady` chair is slightly shorter in height & more reclined, with similar organic curves to the design & great comfort.
