ABOUT PRODUCTID 9935
Designed by Gigi Radice for Minotti in the 1950s, this armchair exemplifies Italian mid-century modernism, blending sculptural form with everyday comfort. Its silhouette features broad, rounded armrests and a slightly reclined, angular backrest, characteristic of the era’s design language. The chair stands on four slender, splayed metal legs finished in polished brass, each ending with the era-typical rounded feet. The interior upholstery has been completely renewed, and the chair is covered in a new, high-quality yellow velvet fabric with a warm undertone. The upholstery has a matte finish, the seams are precisely executed, and the thick, loose seat cushion enhances comfort. The overall construction appears robust, with no visible signs of wear. Condition: fully restored, in excellent shape. This armchair evokes the spirit of 1950s Italian interiors, where bold color and soft contours signaled both modernity and the welcoming intimacy of the home. The rounded forms and golden legs recall the optimism of the postwar years, while the yellow velvet makes the seat seem to invite relaxation. As light falls across the matte fabric, the chair reveals a subtle depth, as if recounting stories of summer afternoons and long conversations. The armchair works well as a statement piece in a living room, where the yellow velvet stands out against neutral walls or alongside dark wood to emphasize material contrast. It can be paired with a low marble-topped coffee table or a minimalist floor lamp with a metal base. The chair complements other mid-century pieces—such as a high-legged sideboard or a streamlined sofa—to create a cohesive, collector’s arrangement. In more eclectic interiors, it would also fit in with geometric graphic art or a single ceramic sculpture.
