Italian mid-century design is celebrated for its effortless balance between refined elegance and inviting comfort. In the 1960s, Italian designers explored new forms and materials, creating furniture that felt modern yet timeless. Clean lines, sculptural volumes, and a sensitivity to luxurious textures defined this era, leaving behind iconic pieces that continue to impress today.
This striking pair of upholstered armchairs beautifully illustrates the sophistication of that period. The chairs feature a sleek, angular silhouette with crisp proportions that lend them a modern architectural presence. The broad, gently sloped armrests not only enhance the inviting profile but also encourages a relaxed posture, making these armchairs ideal for both conversation and lounging. While the plush cushions and generous seat ensure exceptional comfort, the squared form of the chairs’ bodies set them apart from most models. The deep, rich burgundy upholstery adds a dramatic sense of luxury and deepens the textile dimension of the pieces. The robust body is balanced out by slim black metal legs that elevate the design, giving the chairs a light, airy stance and ensuring stability. Brass feet punctuate the base, introducing a refined detail that embodies the Italian appreciation for subtle glamour.
These armchairs showcase the Italian mid-century approach to living spaces as places of both beauty and ease. With their bold color, elegant structure, and comfortable embrace, they serve as timeless statement pieces that can elevate any interior.

Rach Finazzi, an Italian designer active from the late 20th century, is recognised for a distinctive approach to furniture-making that merges geometric structures with unique materials. Finazzi’s work often explores unconventional forms and material contrasts, from glass to metal and wood, resulting in pieces that command attention both as functional furniture and as sculptural statements.
This geometric dining chair is a quintessential example of Finazzi’s design ethos, the chair is characterised by a striking interplay between an angular metal framework, natural wood, and plush sheepskin. The chair rests on slender, black metal legs that intersect to create a dynamic, sculptural base, flowing into the arms. The composition feels both visually light and structurally stable. Adding to the design, the backrest is crafted from solid wood in a dramatically tapered, triangular form. The back introduces an architectural element that draws the eye upward, establishing a visual dialogue between the angular metal structure and the natural wood grain. To fully drive in the textural juxtaposition, the seat is upholstered in longhair sheepskin, adding a warm, inviting texture that contrasts beautifully with the cool, industrial feel of the metal frame and the earthy wooden backrest.
More than just seating, this dining chair functions as a sculptural piece that showcases Finazzi’s ability to harmonise disparate materials and forms. The combination of materials creates a compelling visual and tactile experience, showcasing the skill and creativity of Italian craftsmanship. Whether arranged around a dining table with other pieces or displayed as a standalone accent piece, the chair encapsulates a bold design language, merging functionality with a strong artistic presence.
