Mid Century Armchairs in the Style of Gio Ponti

About the Item

These fabulous shell armchairs are an authentic testament to Italian 1950s design, reflecting the distinctive style of Gio Ponti for Casa & Giardino. They showcase the iconic scalloped bucket form typical of the era, enhanced by upholstery that emphasizes their elegant curves. The beechwood wedge-shaped legs lend a sense of lift and an unmistakable Mid-Century flair. Structurally, the armchairs are in good condition; however, the original fabric-now over 70 years old-shows stains and discoloration, making reupholstery necessary.
