ABOUT PRODUCTID 7076
The pair of Woodline armchairs, designed by Marco Zanuso for Arflex in 1964, exemplifies Italian 1960s design. The structure is based on a bent plywood frame finished in deep, glossy black, with visible wood grain lending depth to the silhouette. The proportions are generous—a low, wide seat and slightly reclined backrest ensure comfort, while the broad, flat armrests are seamlessly integrated into the overall form. Upholstered in a cool, matte violet fabric with a soft, velvety texture, the chairs offer a striking contrast to the lacquered frame. The visible joinery and sculptural lines reveal careful craftsmanship and a robust presence. Condition: expertly restored, with wood cleaned, repainted, lacquered, and seats newly reupholstered with fresh filling and fabric; no visible signs of wear. These armchairs echo the voice of Italian modernism from the 1960s: simplicity and boldness meet material refinement. Zanuso’s vision tells a story of balancing craftsmanship and innovation—the sweeping curves of the frame reflect a period of experimentation with bent plywood, while the matte violet upholstery might recall the palette of avant-garde galleries or Milanese interiors. Every detail speaks to disciplined design, suggesting an object that remains relevant decade after decade. The Woodline armchairs can be showcased in living rooms with either minimalist or classic collector’s aesthetics. They pair well with low tables in dark wood or glass and suit the company of geometric 1960s floor lamps. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern, with touches of brass, natural textiles or stone, will highlight their sculptural quality. They may be combined with a light rug and framed graphic art for gentle contrast, or positioned near a large window, allowing the violet upholstery to interact with changing natural light.
