Velvet armchair by Carlo Mollino for Apelli and Varesio, 1950s












A very rare velvet armchair designed by the great designer Carlo Mollino in the 1950s, made by Apelli and Varesio of fine Italian manufacture. The structure is characterised by particularly enveloping shapes thanks to the roundness of the lines. There are four conical feet made of dark, durable and very beautiful wood. The armchair is completely upholstered in dark green velvet, which is simply charming. The seat has an oval shape, with two side armrests that are also round, very beautiful. The backrest boasts two very exuberant pointed ears on top, creating a comfort worthy of this armchair. There is no lack of attention to ergonomics: a cushion in the lower part of the backrest gives support to the back. The rarity and beauty of this piece make it suitable for the most avid collectors. The armchair is published in the book I Mobili di Carlo Mollino. Seat height 39 cm.
