Key Details
The Lucania chair, designed by Giancarlo De Carlo for Arflex in the 1950s, belongs to a phase of Italian design in which research into seating directly addressed the needs of everyday living. The design combines an essential structure with a soft presence, entrusted to the cushions that complete its function and define its character.
Its compact proportions make the chair suitable for both dining areas and more intimate settings, where it can be used as a single seat. The relationship between the frame and the upholstery creates an interesting balance between structural rigor and comfort, while the design retains that typical measure of post-war Italian production.
The cushions have been completely re-upholstered, allowing the chair to be returned to a condition suitable for daily use and enhancing the original forms of the design once again. This intervention thus maintains the link with the historical configuration of the chair, while updating its usability.
Produced by Arflex, the Lucania represents a significant example of 1950s Italian modernism: a chair designed with attention to function, yet capable of maintaining a strong identity through its proportions and construction. An interesting piece for collections of Italian design and contemporary interiors with a modernist taste.
