The mid 1950s in Italy were marked by a new softness in modern furniture. Designers began shifting away from the strict rationalism of the postwar years and toward interiors shaped through comfort and tactility. Lenzi worked inside that transition. Their production merged clarity of proportion with upholstered volume. The result was a kind of modernism that felt warm, human, and atmospheric rather than merely functional.

This armchair features a curved back, low arms, and deep seat all flowing into one continuous shape, to create a soft envelope around the sitter. Upholstered in a rich olive green textile with a subtle pile, the chair gains depth through texture rather than pattern. The fabric reads almost like moss, perfectly natural and comforting. The seat is anchored by four slender brass legs that angle outward with quiet poise. Their gleam has just enough presence to complement the body above without drawing excess attention to themselves. The upper part of the chairs feels steady and welcoming, while the slender metal below introduces air and lightness. Every contour and proportion has been judged toward an overall calm. This chair is the perfect example of great attention to detail mixed with skilled cabinetmaking.

This model speaks to a moment when Italian modernism was not purely decorative, nor austere, but refined in its ability to create atmosphere. They remain compelling examples of Lenzi's charming yet timeless design approach.

This peculiar mid-century easy chair features multiple distinctive characteristics, from its floating back to the curvaceous armrests. This model is, without a doubt, the work of a master cabinetmaker. The period from roughly the 1940s through the 1960s was a high point for Scandinavian furniture makers, and this chair shows why.

The elegant organic lines of the design create a striking silhouette. Its generous proportions and luxurious upholstery provide great sitting comfort. The chair’s seat and backrest are separated in a style that is typical of Swedish designer, Otto Schulz. This stylish feature highlights the beautiful oaken frame. The armrests are in a peculiar shape, wider in the middle, and along with the generous proportions and upholstery, are perfectly sculpted to accommodate the sitter. Schulz was known for his floating back designs as seen here, preventing the chair from looking heavy. As with most lounge chairs, this chair is also built in a slightly reclined position which provides ultimate comfort. Thanks to the open profile and luxurious, organic style, it is an ideal way to draw attention while complementing any space.

Swedish furniture reflected traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship and mixed it with a modern style. This is reflected in the beautiful sheepskin upholstery, which give this easy chair a soft, modern edge. The sturdy frame and armrests are all carved from solid oak and have acquired a beautiful patina over the decades.

About the (attributed) designer:

Otto Schulz (1882-1970) was Swedish interior designer, furniture designer, publisher and founder of the furniture company BOET in Gothenburg.

Schulz was born in Germany and moved to Sweden in 1907. He mainly produced opulent upholstered furniture, as well as lavishly inlaid, decorative box furniture style-wise between functionalism and traditionalism. He has some of his own invented techniques patented, including the use of decorative nails as part of the design, called Bopoint. After establishing his own furniture company, BOET, he used it as a showroom to exhibit his designs as well.

In the 1920s he started publishing the eponymous magazine BOET, which was also a platform for his own collection. The magazine was at the time the most influential, appearing in regular editions in Sweden and often included interviews with well-known designers and architects. ~H.

The Italian architect, painter and furniture designer, Guglielmo Ulrich, descended from a noble family with Danish origins. He quickly became a very influential figure in modern Italian design and his models are real delicacies today.

As this pair of 1950s lounge chairs show, Ulrich’s work is elegant and rich in detail. Although his work does not quite conform with the strict norms of simplicity of the time, it fits the prevalent aesthetics of Modernism. In the case of these chairs, the fully upholstered bodies show the general mid-century modern characteristics with an ergonomic and functional design. The seats are slightly raised, and the backs tilted, creating an angle that supports the sitter and the lounging experience. The wooden arms transcending to form the back legs however, truly stand out. The sharp curvature of the armrests and front legs define the look and create an interesting effect, as if the upholstered seats and backs were connected to them without joinery. The carved, dark wood and soft upholstery make them even more pronounced. There are more, subtler features to these chairs, including the wider armrests and the curved backrests, both in service of comfortable lounging. Thanks to the quality of his furnishings, that Ulrich designed and made personally, he became the trusted architects of many upper-class Milanese families. He participates in the furnishing of the most prestigious Italian ships: Cristoforo Colombo, Raffaello, etc.

“A nobleman of yesteryear, with sudden jokes and twists, such as a pipe with an egg in his mouth and a very concrete sense of doing” is how he was often described. This pair of chairs is much like this description with a playful, elegant design completed by quality materials and craftsmanship.

About the designer:

Guglielmo Ulrich (born 1904, Milan–died 1977) was an Italian architect, furniture designer, and painter. He was born to a notable family of Danish origin. In 1924, Ulrich enrolled in the Scuola Speciale di Architettura at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. He finished his studies at Politecnico di Milano in 1927 and soon became a very influential figure in modern Italian design.

In 1930, along with Scaglia and Wild, Guglielmo Ulrich founded and became head designer of home furnishing company Arca (Arredamento casa, or Home Furnishing), a company engaged in the creation of high-quality furnishing accessories characterized by craftsmanship and the use of premium materials. In the 1950s, he participated in several editions of the Triennale di Milano and concentrated on designing buildings, offices, and retail shops throughout Italy.

Most of Ulrich’s furniture designs from this era, and especially his chairs and chaise lounges, resemble simplified and streamlined design versions of late 19th century pieces and do not necessarily conform to modern designs prevalent in Northern Europe and the U.S. in the 1950s. In the 1960s, Ulrich focused his work toward industrial design and was able to create original and impactful objects. His talent was rewarded on many occasions. In 1961, he won the Fiera di Trieste award for his Trieste chair, produced by furniture maker Saffa.

Simplicity, functionality, and elegance - these are the basic aspects of Danish design and accordingly, of this sophisticated easy chair as well. As a representation of early modernist seating, there is a profound focus on comfort and cosiness, that invokes a pleasant homelike feeling.

The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements gives the chair its elegance. Even though Scandinavian design is generally democratic and meant for the masses, pieces were not stripped of all beauty in order to make them as easy to use as possible. The importance of this balance can be identified in the design and execution of these armchairs as well. This balance is achieved through the clever use of the materials and rounded edges of the upholstered body. The exposed wood outlining the armrests’ shape is the standout design element. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created this piece, especially visible in the sculpted armrests. The pairing of the bun feet in the front and the short, tapered legs in the back is a quirky Scandinavian detail that adds more visual interest to this model.

This armchair further illustrates how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The elegant light wool upholstery highlights the beautiful wood lines of the armrests and the legs. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this chair is truly soulful and timeless.

The so-called “Kurulstol” or “Kurul” chair, is an iconic model by Danish designer, Henning Kjærnulf. The Kurul chair is an ancient folding chair, originally a folding stool with straight or curved legs. Among the Romans, in addition to being an ordinary utility chair, it was symbolically linked to officials, often within the judiciary.

This pair of chairs combine the traditional kurul structure with a rounded and curved appearance, with an upholstered seat and backrest that gives the historic look a modern edge. The oak frames are carved and sculpted in an unmistakeable way, showing the skills of both the designer and the manufacturer. The bodies are composed of two slats of wood of equal length in the front and back, fastened together in a saltire formation (resembling the letter X) which are extended up at the top and back to form the armrests and the backs as well. The seats are upholstered in soft sheepskin, stretched between the front and back slats connecting the two. Kjærnulf removed the folding function of the historic design, giving his model a more stable, organic look. This impression is further enhanced by the solid oak, which is carved with great precision into straight and curving lines. The rich sheepskin melts these carved and straight lines together, contrasting to the oak’s smoothness. While the historic kurul chair was often decorated with intarsia, this model only showcases subtle decor elements, such as the charming sculpted mark in the front with a flower (or the sun) carved into the wood.

While the kurulstol is a Renaissance classic originating from ancient Rome, thanks to Kjaernulf, Scandinavian modernism remains at the core of the design. Kjærnulf’s designs are easy to spot in a crowd thanks to his originality, making his pieces like the razorblade chair and this kurulstol eternally unique. This chair was manufactured by EG Kvalitetsmobel in Denmark during the 1960s.

Italian Modern furniture is defined by unique design, precise execution and a strong relationship with Italy’s tradition of craftsmanship. This pair of “Bergamo” lounge chairs with matching ottomans attributed to Paolo Buffa is a testament to the distinctive character of mid-century modernism in Italy. Buffa’s design language remains coherent with contemporary developments while retaining a clear connection to traditional furniture making, combining measured proportions, refined decorative details and carefully worked wooden structures.

This pair is focused on elegant proportions, balanced compositions and a rich interplay between geometric and flowing lines. The solid wooden frames are shaped with curved upper edges, slender tapered legs and open sides. The front legs rise effortlessly to form the sweeping armrests, creating a continuous line around the upholstered seats. Two crosses on each side introduce a sharper geometric rhythm, while the backs are formed from a sequence of slender vertical and diagonal wooden elements that give the chairs a striking open appearance both when viewed from behind and from the side. Thick upholstered seat cushions are paired with distinctive round back pillows, leaving much of the wooden back structure visible and enhancing the airy character of the design. The warm, light fabric contrasts with the darker wood and softens the architectural quality of the frames. Each chair is accompanied by a matching ottoman, constructed with the same tapered legs, shaped wooden frame and generously upholstered cushion. Placed together, the ottomans extend the composition of the chairs and reinforce the dialogue between solid upholstery and finely worked wood. The crossed panels, curved armrests, slender back elements and rounded cushions gives the set a dynamic appearance while retaining the elegance inherent in Buffa’s work.

Paolo Buffa was highly active within the Milanese design scene, where traditional craftsmanship and modern ideas were continually brought into dialogue. The “Bergamo” chairs capture that combination particularly well, and the presence of their matching ottomans makes the pair especially complete, creating two inviting lounge settings with a strong decorative presence from every angle.

The mid-20th century was a transformative era for design throughout Europe. Around this period, furniture began blending the streamlined elegance of modernism with the inviting charm of skilled craftsmanship. This period celebrated functionality, comfort, and organic forms by creating pieces that were as practical as they were beautiful, like this armchair.

Works from this era embraced soft curves and beautiful textures, perfectly showcased by this piece. This armchair encapsulates the mid-century modern ethos, standing as a testament of the era’s focus on human-centred design and timeless versatility. The piece features harmonious, seamless curves, breaking the classic angularity of most armchairs, while evoking natural fluidity, through material and colour. The frame is quite distinctive even beyond its curved arms. The shape and construction show the signs of a master cabinetmaker as the chair has an almost sculptural look. The backrest is visually “unattached” to the seat which creates an impression of weightlessness. The piece has an overall flow to it which adds to the visual interest. The light fabric adds to the stylish look as well, as it highlights the wood’s gorgeous colour and pattern. European designers often believed that a chair should always be comfortable to sit on and beautiful to look at from all sides and angles and this piece is evidence of that.

Unlike designs from outside the continent, European furniture wasn’t flashy but designed to be well-made and to fit a warm, comfortable and welcoming home. As this armchair exemplifies, blending functionality, good quality natural materials and organic colours with excellent craftsmanship is the key to the success of modern design.

Art Deco, the glamorous and influential design movement that emerged in France during the early 20th century, left an indelible mark on the world of furniture design. Characterised by its bold geometric shapes, rich materials, and luxurious aesthetics, Art Deco transformed the way we perceive interior spaces. It was a testament to the fusion of form and function, and this ethos is beautifully exemplified in this exquisite lounge chair.

This lounge chair is defined by its generous, rounded silhouette, with thickly upholstered arms that curve forward and frame the seat in a protective, almost enveloping way. The deep seat and softly padded backrest create a sense of weight and comfort, while the proportions remain carefully controlled so the form never feels heavy. The body is upholstered in a luxurious off-white mohair, which delights the eye thanks to its softness and texture, transforming the piece into a uniquely charming accent. The plush mohair also adds a tactile richness and warmth that stays true to the Art Deco commitment to durability and high-quality materials. Paired with the brown of the tapered wood that composes its legs, the lounge chair evokes a natural feel.

Perfect for those who value style and quality, this lounge chair brings a bold, timeless charm to any room. With its silhouette and rich, versatile colour, this piece combines style and comfort to infuse a space with Art Deco elegance.

This armchair is a clear expression of European mid-century modern design, a period defined by softer forms, functional comfort, and a move away from the rigidity of older styles. Designers of the mid-20th century increasingly focused on how furniture was used in everyday life, prioritising ergonomics and visual warmth alongside clean, modern lines. This approach resulted in seating that feels approachable, while still maintaining a strong sense of craftsmanship.

This armchair features a curved back and arms that gently wrap around the sitter, creating an inviting and supportive profile. The seat cushion is deep and well-proportioned, designed to offer comfort. Subtle shaping in the armrests and back give the chair a cohesive, flowing appearance from every angle. The body of the chair is fully upholstered in a neutral tone, bringing in warmth and cosiness, and maintaining a soft, tactile surface. The slightly tapered and pointed wooden legs lift the piece, preventing the chair from feeling heavy despite its bold, voluptuous form. Its stance is stable and grounded, yet light enough to integrate easily into a variety of interior settings. The neutral upholstery enhances the overall softness of the design and allows the chair to adapt to both modern and more traditional spaces. Every detail, from the fabric choice to the careful balance between curves and structure, points to thoughtful construction and a clear understanding of comfort. 

This chair will work beautifully in a living room, reading corner, or bedroom setting. Comfortable, elegant, and well-crafted, this armchair is a strong example of mid-century furniture that continues to feel relevant today.

Art Deco pieces used bold geometry to create iconic elements of interior design.  While the movement is frequently associated with angular silhouettes and decorative detailing, many Scandinavian interpretations introduced a calmer and more restrained approach and rounder forms. Danish furniture makers in particular favoured sculptural curves and high-quality upholstery to define the character of a piece rather than relying on excessive ornamentation.

This shift produced seating that retained the elegance of Art Deco while moving toward the softer sensibility that would later define Scandinavian modernism. Through its strong contours and carefully balanced proportions, this 1930s danish armchair is reflective of its era. The most distinctive feature is the oversized circular armrests, which frame the seat in a bold, sculptural manner. The curved shape creates a strong visual rhythm while softening the otherwise classic structure of the chair. The body is fully upholstered in a thick boucle fabric whose textured surface enhances the softness of the silhouette across the curves. The backrest rises slightly above the armrests and complements the roundness of the arms with its more angular look, without disrupting its appearance. Beneath the body, the chair rests on a low wooden plinth base with small feet, grounding the form and providing visual contrast to the softness above. The restrained palette further emphasises the shapes and allows the sculptural quality of the armrests to remain the focal point.

The interplay between the upholstery and the dark wooden base gives the chair a controlled sense of weight and balance. Rather than appearing delicate or overly decorative, the design feels strong while still prioritising comfort. This piece demonstrates the refined elegance that characterised Danish interpretations of Art Deco seating.

Marco Zanuso, born in 1916, was one of a group of Italian designers from Milan shaping the international idea of "good design" in the postwar years. After graduating from the Politecnico di Milano in 1939 with a degree in architecture, and serving in the Second World War, he opened his own office in 1945 and was a pioneer of the use of modern materials.

Along with other pieces - such as the ‘Lady’ and the ‘Martingala’ chairs designed by Marco Zanuso for Arflex - the ‘Regent’ lounge chair, designed in 1960, embodies the modern characteristics of its era. This model, with its outward pointing armrests and the dynamic lines of the seating, combines modern forms and ideals to obtain a timeless, impressive piece of furniture. The set is upholstered in a lambswool fabric in a pleasant cream colour. The chair is decorated with four tufted buttons, which add an elegant element of visual interest while alluding to the functionality and focus on comfort of the design. The set is completed by a matching footstool, complementing the chair while serving an obvious functional purpose, further enhancing the lounging experience. Both pieces feature wheels for easy movement, allowing them to be flexible additions to creative interiors.

Through its modern look and functional features, this set of Marco Zanuso ‘Regent’ lounge chair is in service of both the experience of the user, as well as the pursuit of a beautifully decorated space.
