Mid-Century Franco Albini Fiorenza Graphite-blue Wool Ash Italian 1950 Armchair

The Fiorenza armchair, designed by Franco Albini in the early 1950s, is a hallmark of post-war Italian design and was first produced by Arflex in 1952. The chair’s elegant frame is crafted from solid, steam-bent ash, forming the distinctive 'X'-shaped side supports that give the piece its sculptural yet lightweight appearance. Upholstered in a refined graphite-blue wool, the Fiorenza features a high wing-back and integrated arms, balancing visual poise with exceptional comfort. Albini’s design was celebrated for its ergonomic sensibility and innovative use of foam rubber and shaped polyurethane in modern seating. Produced in various wood and upholstery variants over the years, original Fiorenza chairs are highly sought after by collectors as iconic examples of mid-century Italian craftsmanship. Dimensions: W 72 X D 86 X H 46/105 cm.
