Italian Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair, c.1960s — Sculptural Beechwood Frame

For more vintage goodies: @Midcent_LA A beautifully refined Italian Mid-Century Modern lounge chair, circa 1960s, featuring a striking sculptural profile and timeless European craftsmanship. This elegant piece captures the essence of Italian modernism — sophisticated lines, balanced proportions, and a fluid frame that merges comfort with artistry. The chair’s solid beechwood frame has been expertly refinished, highlighting its natural grain and warm honey tone. The frame’s architectural form is characterized by angular, sculpted arms and openwork sides, lending a sense of lightness and movement from every angle. Newly upholstered cushions in a rich burgundy textured fabric provide both style and comfort, offering a perfect contrast to the smooth wood frame. A standout example of postwar Italian design, this lounge chair exemplifies the modern ideals of craftsmanship and elegance that defined the era — equally suited for a reading nook, design collector’s living room, or refined studio space. --- Details: Origin: Italy, circa 1960s Style: Mid-Century Modern / Italian Modern Material: Solid beechwood frame, new woven upholstery Finish: Professionally refinished wood Upholstery: New textured burgundy fabric with fresh webbing/threads Dimensions (approx): 27.5"W x 31"D x 28.5"H, Seat Height 18" --- Condition: Excellent refinished condition.
