Gigi Radice's production for Minotti is recognizable for a rare quality: the ability to combine architectural elegance and comfort without resorting to superfluous decorative solutions. This armchair from the 1950s is a perfect expression of this, with an essential design that entrusts its character to the proportions and the balance between structure and upholstery.

The backrest and armrests develop as a single continuous volume, enveloping the seat with soft and well-balanced lines. The silhouette appears compact but never heavy, while the wide seat and the inclination of the backrest make it ideal for relaxed use, both in a living room and in a study.

This piece has been completely restored and reupholstered in Métaphores fabric in a light grey shade. The refined texture of the upholstery highlights the armchair's forms and creates an elegant dialogue with the original design, offering a contemporary interpretation of a historical project without altering its identity.

More than sixty years later, this armchair retains all the relevance of the best post-war Italian design. A piece that tells the story of Gigi Radice's design rigor and Minotti's production quality, capable of naturally fitting into both modernist and contemporary interiors.
