This pair of Italian armchairs was designed by Marco Zanuso in the 1950s and produced by Arflex. It is upholstered in the original red fabric, which is damaged and should be replaced. The foam inside is also partially crumbling. The legs are made of black lacquered steel and display a beautiful, age-related patina. An original manufacturer's label is present.
