This pair of armchairs, designed by Ettore Sottsass for Olivetti and produced in Italy during the 1970s, embodies the aesthetics of space age and modernism. The construction combines a robust silhouette with minimalist expression: a deep, uniform chocolate brown covers both the matte fabric upholstery and the plastic structural elements, whose subtle sheen gently contrasts with the texture of the seat and backrest. The armchairs feature generous proportions, an ergonomically reclined seat, strongly defined rectangular armrests, and legs that splay slightly for stability. The solid structure is emphasized by visible, precisely executed joints, while the wide planes and geometric lines provide comfortable support for both sitting and leaning back. The pair is preserved in very good vintage condition: no visible damage, stains, or significant signs of wear; all components are original and well maintained.
These chairs carry the voice of the Italian design revolution of the 1970s: every edge and surface echoes an era in which design sought to transform everyday life into an experience at the intersection of art and technology. The matte browns, contrasted by the sheen of the plastic armrests, evoke the atmosphere of Olivetti's modern offices and Sottsass's openness to experimentation. Sitting in one of these chairs feels as though time briefly pauses between the architecture and pop culture of the 1970s, with the sculptural form inviting both work and conversation in the living room.
The armchairs can be paired with a low lacquered coffee table in a modernist style or a minimalist shelving unit with chrome accents. They work well in mid-century modern settings, collector’s interiors with strong color accents, or among loft elements where geometric shapes and neutral tones highlight their architectural nature.
